Description
Celebrating Britain’s long heritage of exquisite tailoring, this elegantly upholstered corner sofa adds understated contemporary style to the plushest of pads.

Our Stylist Says
This corner sofa, with its boucle tweed fabric and natural beech legs, offers a versatile and timeless appeal. I love how the lapis colour brings a subtle depth, making it an ideal centrepiece for both contemporary and more classic interiors. It works particularly well in neutral schemes, adding texture and colour without overwhelming the space. Practical styling tips include pairing it with minimalist cushions in contrasting textures or colours for a cosy look, and placing it in a room with soft lighting to highlight its fabric’s tactile quality. Its right-hand facing configuration makes it a great choice for creating a cosy corner in a living room or open-plan space, maximising seating without sacrificing style.

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.
