Price History
Description
With its clean lines, the Torrington sofa designed by Heal’s, is an elegant piece that is both classic and contemporary yet offers plenty of comfort. Sat on sleek black metal legs, Torrington’s slimline frame offers ergonomic comfort with a lightweight feel. The generous seat cushions are made with foam topped with 100% duck feathers. Both featuring stylish piping detail, the wide cushioned arms and generous feather filled scatter cushions offers the perfect spot to lounge in. Beautifully crafted the UK and available in the full range of Heal’s fabrics.
Our Stylist Says
I’m a fan of the Torrington two-seater for its neat proportions and soft, mushroom-coloured velvet - the black metal legs give it just enough edge to suit both contemporary and Scandinavian-inspired schemes. It works particularly well in smaller living rooms or as a second sofa in an open-plan space, pairing effortlessly with light timber or brass-legged tables. For styling, layer on a contrasting cushion in deep teal or rust to break up the neutral, and drape a knitted throw over one arm. A low-pile, patterned rug beneath will ground the look without competing with the sofa’s clean lines.

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.
