Description
Introducing the Wallis Sofa, an exciting new collaboration between Heal’s and acclaimed designer Russell Pinch. In designing this exclusive piece, Pinch was tasked to create a compact yet generous sofa that echoes classic shapes. The result is the Wallis, a considered design whose discreet luxury resonates with Pinch’s trademark style.
Our Stylist Says
I love the wallis 3 seater for its simple yet stylish silhouette, making it a versatile choice for various interiors. Its Melton wool in shale natural offers a tactile, textured finish that adds warmth and a sense of understated luxury. This sofa works well in contemporary schemes, especially ones with muted colour palettes or neutral tones, but it can also be a statement piece in more eclectic or traditional settings. For styling tips, consider pairing it with patterned cushions or throws in contrasting colours to add visual interest. Its clean lines also make it easy to incorporate into both living rooms designed for everyday comfort and more formal spaces. Practicality-wise, the wool fabric is durable and easy to maintain, making it suitable for family living or high-traffic areas.

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.
