Description
A spacious corner sofa with stretching chaise leg rest, the Ravello features a deep hardwood frame with a comfortable sprung back and seat. Feather filled back and foam fibre-wrapped seat cushions offer medium to soft support, while swooping curves on each arm add an elegant profile to this sofas traditional proportions. Fully upholstered in a choice of Heal's fabrics, each Ravello features piping finish along every edge and is topped with plump scatter cushions that can be arranged for comfort.
Our Stylist Says
This corner sofa is a great choice for adding a touch of luxury and comfort to contemporary interiors. I love its deep midnight velvet, which creates a sophisticated, cosy feel and works well with both neutral palettes and richer jewel tones. It’s versatile enough to anchor a modern minimalist space or sit comfortably in a more relaxed, eclectic setting. For styling tips, pair it with textured cushions in complementary shades to add visual interest and soft lighting to highlight the velvet’s sheen. Practical advice would be to ensure good upholstery maintenance, as velvet benefits from regular brushing and careful cleaning, but it’s well worth the effort for its timeless elegance.

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.
