Description
Meaning 'cloud' in Italian, the Four-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 red oxide sofa for its bold, contemporary look that can serve as a statement piece within a variety of interiors. Its Melton wool upholstery gives it a sophisticated texture that balances comfort with style. The black beech feet add a sleek, modern touch, making it versatile enough for both minimalist and eclectic spaces. For styling, consider pairing it with neutral tones and layering with cushions in complementary colours or textures to soften the bold colour. It works particularly well in modern living rooms or open-plan spaces that benefit from a confident splash of colour; however, it also pairs nicely with pared-back decor, letting the sofa be the star. Practical tips include keeping accessories minimal and choosing lighting that highlights its rich hue and texture, ensuring it remains a striking yet functional furniture piece.

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.
