Description
Our Richmond sofa features beautifully sloping arms, three plump cushions that rest against a high back and ample seating space creating a stunning design that is built to stand the test of time. Classic in its simplicity, the sofa sits upon smartly tapered legs made from hardwearing ash or beech, and is available as a chair as well as a three or four-seater sofa. Its versatile shape can carry any type of fabric, but Richmond looks particularly stylish in a rich, colourful velvet that will contrast beautifully with monochrome or metallic accessories.
Our Stylist Says
I love this corner sofa for its clean lines and versatile style, making it a great anchor for both contemporary and more relaxed interiors. The linen-cotton fabric adds a breathable, textured feel, perfect for creating a welcoming, lived-in look. It works particularly well in neutral or pastel palettes, paired with layered textiles and minimal accessories. For styling tips, consider placing it against a plain wall to highlight its sleek silhouette, and add a mix of cushions for comfort and visual interest. The black feet provide an elegant contrast that grounds the piece, so it's easy to blend into a variety of schemes from Scandi to classic tavern-style settings. Overall, it’s a practical yet stylish addition that invites relaxed family gatherings or casual lounging.

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.
