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. Its versatile shape can carry any type of fabric, but Richmond looks particularly elegant in a rich, colourful velvet. A detachable footstool that means this corner chaise sofa can switch from a left to right.
Our Stylist Says
The Heal's Richmond Corner Sofa in Melton Wool Shale Walnut is a versatile piece that blends understated elegance with practical comfort. I love this one for its clean lines and neutral tone, which works well in both modern and traditional interiors. Its customisable corner design makes it ideal for open-plan living spaces, family rooms, or cosy reading nooks. To style it effectively, pair with soft textured cushions in muted or complementary colours to add visual interest, or dress it with a throw for a more layered, inviting look. Its wool upholstery is durable and warms up the space, making it a great choice for creating a welcoming, relaxed environment.

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.
