Heal's Nuvola 2 Seater Sofa Smart Luxe Velvet Mushroom Walnut Stained Feet
Our Stylist Says
I really like the Nuvola 2-seater sofa for its versatile and contemporary look. The smart luxe velvet in mushroom offers a soft, inviting texture that pairs well with both modern and more traditional interiors. Its walnut stained legs add warmth and sophistication, making it a great option for cosy living rooms or even stylish office spaces. When styling, consider complementing it with neutral cushions or layered throws for added comfort, and pair it with other timber or matte finishes to keep the aesthetic cohesive. It works particularly well in Scandinavian-inspired schemes or pared-back contemporary interiors, where its understated elegance can really stand out. Practical tip: positioning it near a warm lighting source will really enhance the plush feel of the velvet.

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.
