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 for its versatile, understated style. The neutral cotton cloth combined with the pewter hue makes it a great neutral piece that can blend seamlessly into both modern and classic interiors. It works particularly well in transitional or contemporary spaces, adding a relaxed yet sophisticated touch. For styling tips, I’d suggest pairing it with a soft, textured blanket and a few decorative trays on top to turn it into a casual coffee spot or extra seating for guests. Its compact size and neutral palette also make it perfect for smaller living rooms or bedrooms where space is at a premium. The black feet add a subtle contrast without overpowering the soft tone, giving it a clean and polished look.

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.
