Description
Designed by Danish duo Says Who exclusively for Heal's, the Tortona 4-seater sofa is a pared back yet intricately designed piece. The sofa features deep foam seat cushions wrapped in duck feather jackets for a soft-to-medium feel. Slim arms add to the elegant design and create a generous space for seating the whole family. Also featuring thin, elegant powder-coated steel legs and French seam detailing creating a neat profile which will sit well in any modern home.
Our Stylist Says
I love this sofa’s versatile sophistication and its tactile velvet finish, which adds a touch of luxury without feeling fussy. The mushroom hue is a fantastic neutral that works well in both modern and traditional interiors, making it a flexible choice for a variety of colour schemes. It pairs beautifully with warm woods, metallic accents, or even bolder hues like deep teal or mustard for contrast. Practical styling tips include layering with textured cushions and throws to create a cosy yet polished look. Its clean lines and structured silhouette make it ideal for contemporary living rooms, but it can also be softened with vintage accessories or art to suit eclectic schemes. Overall, it’s a stylish, comfortable choice that can anchor a range of interior styles.

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.
