Price History
Description
A plump and shapely sofa made here in the UK, the Torino exhibits the sort of masterful tailoring you'd expect from classic British craft. Featuring flared arms, a tall frame and tapered feet this timeless three seater sets a solid contemporary frame against soft enveloping cushions to create a relaxing design for family homes.
Our Stylist Says
The Torino 3 seater sofa in mulberry luxe velvet is a statement piece that seamlessly blends contemporary elegance with timeless appeal. I love how its rich colour adds warmth and luxury to both modern and classic interiors, and the velvet finish offers a tactile softness that invites relaxation. This sofa works particularly well in eclectic, opulent, or modern minimalist spaces-pair it with brass or black accents to enhance its sophistication. For styling tips, consider adding textured cushions and layered throws for coziness, and ensure pairing with a neutral or darker-toned palette to let the colour truly pop. Its sleek black feet give it a grounded look that feels both refined and versatile, making it suitable for various room styles.

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.
