Description
A forgotten classic, Pierre Paulin's Pumpkin was originally designed in 1971 for the private apartments of Claude & Georges Pompidou within the Elysée Palace. Now over four decades later, Ligne Roset give its long sought after style to the world with this voluptuous and hardwearing shell sofa.
Our Stylist Says
The Ligne Roset Pumpkin 2 Seater is a striking choice for those looking to add contemporary sophistication to their space. Its curved, plush silhouette makes it perfect for relaxed lounging in modern or minimalist interiors, while also serving as an eye-catching statement piece. I love how its clean, white finish offers versatility-pair it with bold accessories or keep it pared-back for a sleek look. Practical styling tips include contrasting it with textured cushions or a statement rug to anchor the space, and it's equally suited for open-plan living areas where its inviting shape can be fully appreciated. Overall, it’s a versatile sofa that balances comfort and style with a distinctive design that elevates any interior.

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.
