Description
Created in collaboration with long-standing partner Says Who, the Stanton sofa – available as an armchair and two, three- and four-seater styles – is characterised by a formal high-back with relaxed round-edge detailing and plump cushioning. Exclusive to Heal’s, the sofa provides a fresh update on a classic style, made from a solid birch plywood frame with generous seating constructed from recycled plastic bottles wrapped in sumptuous duck feather. A deep sprung base and integrated arm cushions provide a pillow-like finish for a sofa that’s as soft as it is supportive. Customise yours by upholstering in a range of luxurious Heal’s fabrics and choose from a collection of premium wooden finishes for the feet.
Our Stylist Says
I love this armchair because it combines classic comfort with a contemporary touch, thanks to the luxe velvet fabric and walnut stained feet. It's versatile enough to complement both traditional and modern interiors, working particularly well in cosy living rooms or reading nooks. For styling, consider pairing it with textured cushions or a Scandinavian-inspired side table to enhance its understated elegance. Practical tips include placing it near a window for natural light or adding a statement floor lamp to create a welcoming, relaxed environment. Its neutral hue makes it easy to coordinate with various colour schemes, making it a reliable yet stylish addition to any space.

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.
