Description
A contemporary sofa designed by Erwan and Ronan Bouroullec, the Ploum offers luxury levels of comfort and style to match. Its free form shape is built to ensure the sitter is comfortable in any seating position while adding an organic feel to contemporary interiors.
Our Stylist Says
I love this footstool for its contemporary yet versatile design, which makes it a great addition both to modern and eclectic interiors. The Moby Chocolat is superb for adding a splash of comfort and colour without overwhelming a space. Its textured fabric adds visual interest, and its low, wide shape makes it perfect as a footrest or even an impromptu extra seat in casual settings. Practically, it works well in living rooms with neutral or warm palettes, and it can also serve as a stand-in coffee table when paired with a tray. For styling tips, place it close to a sofa or accent armchair, and consider mixing it with other textured fabrics or colour pops to create a layered, inviting look.

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.
