Description
Designed by Danish duo Says Who exclusively for Heal's, the Tortona Armchair is a pared back yet intricately designed piece. The armchair 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 and extra scatter cushions. 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’m a big fan of the Tortona armchair in mineral - its slim metal legs and narrow arms give it a light, unfussy profile while the cotton-linen blend keeps it comfortable and hard-wearing. The muted blue-green tone works equally well in Scandi-inspired spaces or more eclectic schemes, pairing neatly with natural oak, brass accents or even a darker sofa for contrast.
For styling, position it in a corner with a slender floor lamp to create a reading nook, then add a textural throw in cream or terracotta and a small lumbar cushion in a complementary shade. It also looks great alongside a low-slung sofa: group them around a simple coffee table to keep the area feeling open and balanced.

About Heal's
Explore from Heal's. Founded in 1810, Heal's are an iconic brand with a history of innovation, and are synonymous with timeless elegance and exceptional 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.
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.
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.
