Description
Meaning 'cloud' in Italian, the Two-Seater Nuvola is large enough to accommodate friends and family more than comfortably. Designed by Danish studio Says Who exclusively for Heal’s, the sofa features curves in all the right places. It features solid wooden feet and comes in a choice of Heal's fabrics. It’s a beautiful piece that pairs with the other sofas and beds in the collection.
Our Stylist Says
I love this sofa’s clean, contemporary silhouette paired with the luxurious velvet upholstery, which adds depth and softness to any space. It works particularly well in modern, mid-century, or eclectic interiors, where its sleek lines can be complemented with a mix of textures and colours. Practical styling tips include pairing it with plush cushions in contrasting fabrics or subtle patterns to add visual interest, and choosing a rug that grounds the seating area without overpowering its understated elegance. The dark Acorn velvet pairs beautifully with both neutral tones and richer jewel colours, making it versatile for various colour schemes. Plus, the black painted feet give a modern touch that helps it sit comfortably in both classic and contemporary settings.

About Heal's
A Rich Legacy in Furniture Design
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
Influences and Design Philosophy
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
Modern Expansion and Growth
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
