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. Handcrafted in Britain, the Wallis sofa features a hardwood beech and birch frame with stained ash feet in a choice of natural, tinted walnut or black finish. Available as a three or four seater sofa, the Wallis is skilfully upholstered in a selection of Heal's or designer fabrics.
Our Stylist Says
The Wallis 3-seater looks great in both modern and classic interiors, thanks to its plush velvet upholstery and elegant walnut legs. I love how it brings a touch of sophistication without feeling too formal, making it versatile for different room styles. For styling, pairing it with textured cushions in complementary colours-think muted golds or deep plum-adds depth. It's also a practical choice for spaces that want a pop of colour, as the midnight blue velvet creates a cosy yet refined vibe. To keep it looking its best, consider placing it in a well-lit area to highlight the richness of the fabric and the understated elegance of the wooden legs.

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.
