Description
Specially designed to accompany the Torino Sofa collection, this plump and shapely footstool is exclusively available at Heal’s. Expertly handcrafted in the UK, the Torino Footstool exhibits the masterful tailoring you’d expect from classic British craftsmanship. Plus, its padding and luxurious upholstery ensures it is a comfortable seat as well as a footstool.
Our Stylist Says
I really like this footstool because of its clean, streamlined look and versatile neutral tone. The Belgium brushed cotton in mist adds a cosy yet sophisticated texture, making it a great piece for both modern and traditional interiors. It works particularly well in living rooms with muted palettes or as a relaxed complement to a sofa or armchair. For styling tips, consider pairing it with a textured throw or layered cushions to create a more inviting space. Its size and neutral hue also make it easy to incorporate into different schemes, whether as a standalone piece or part of a wider seating arrangement. The wooden feet add a touch of warmth, helping it sit well in both contemporary and more rustic settings.

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.
