Price History
Description
Celebrating Britain’s long heritage of exquisite tailoring, this elegantly upholstered corner sofa adds understated contemporary style to the plushest of pads. Crafted in the UK and cut from a range of sumptuous Heal’s fabrics, deep, feather-filled back cushions and fibre seat cushions offer assured comfort and a soft, relaxing sit.
Our Stylist Says
I’m a big fan of the Tailor two-seater in tawny velvet because its warm, earthy tone and subtle black feet give a cosy yet refined look without overwhelming a space. The plush upholstery works especially well in contemporary or Scandinavian-inspired interiors, where you can balance its colour with soft neutrals like oatmeal or pale grey walls. For practical styling, add a couple of contrast-trimmed cushions in cream or slate blue to break up the hue, and layer a natural-fibre rug underneath to ground the seating area. Flank it with slim-lined side tables in matte black or brass finishes to echo the feet, and keep surrounding décor light and uncluttered to let the sofa remain the focal point.

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.
