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 four seater sets a solid contemporary frame against soft enveloping cushions to create a relaxing design for family homes.
Our Stylist Says
I love this sofa for its versatile style and comfortable proportions, making it a great addition to both classic and contemporary interiors. The blue linen-cotton fabric offers a relaxed yet refined look, perfect for creating a laid-back living space or adding a splash of colour to neutral schemes. It works particularly well in minimalist, Scandinavian, or modern country settings when styled with textured cushions and cosy throws. Practical tips include pairing it with natural wood or metal accents to highlight its natural feet, and complementing it with легger artwork or rugs in soft, neutral tones to let the sofa stay centre stage. Its shape and size also make it ideal for family rooms or open-plan living areas where comfortable, stylish seating is key.

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.
