Price History
Description
This sofa is made from a sustainably sourced hardwood frame, jute webbing and hessian straps, which are covered with a mix of materials that includes natural fibres, animal hair and wool. Featuring two large feather cushions, notable for their deep, laid back feel, the tall supportive back has a line of sewn in pulls, lending the sofa the appearance of a buttoned back. Supporting the sofa are walnut stained beech feet, the front pair being decoratively turned to further hint towards this sofas classical influences. Contrasting long straight lines with delicate natural curves, Hilton has created a piece that is both reserved and full of humility.
Our Stylist Says
I love the sofa for its classic yet contemporary appeal, thanks to its textured fabric and chic walnut feet that add warmth and sophistication. It’s a versatile piece that suits both traditional and modern interiors, especially those with neutral or muted tones. The informal seating makes it perfect for relaxed living rooms or family spaces, while its sturdy design offers durability for everyday use. For styling, consider pairing it with mixed textures like soft throws or cushions in complementary shades, and avoid overcrowding to keep the space feeling airy. It works well with vintage pieces for an eclectic look or sleek, minimalist decor for a more streamlined vibe.

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.
