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 this sofa for its clean, modern silhouette paired with the rich, textured Melton wool in shale tint, which adds a sophisticated and inviting touch to any living space. It works particularly well in contemporary, mid-century, or Scandinavian interiors, where its bold colour can be balanced with neutral tones or complemented with layered textiles and accessories. Practical styling tips include pairing it with soft, tactile cushions in contrasting colours or patterns to add interest, and keeping surrounding décor minimal for a sleek look. Its versatile design makes it a statement piece that can anchor both cosy family rooms and more refined, minimalist settings.

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.
