Description
Designed by Anderssen & Voll, the In Situ range combines the grandeur of traditional Italian sofas with the refined simplicity of Scandinavian design, making it the heart of any space. Combining the function of modularity with the beauty of simple, elegant lines and deep comfort, the uncomplicated profile subtly hides the visual elements of modularity, giving a unique character and complete appearance.
Our Stylist Says
I love this corner sofa for its clean lines and versatile design, making it a great anchor piece in contemporary and minimalist interiors. Its left-hand facing configuration works particularly well in open-plan living spaces, defining zones without overwhelming the room. To style around it, consider pairing with neutral or earth-toned accessories for a calming effect, while adding textured cushions and throws can introduce warmth and visual interest. It’s practical for everyday living, but remember to keep the space around it uncluttered to maintain its sleek silhouette. Suitable for both casual family rooms and more refined spaces, this piece offers flexibility and comfort with a modern edge.

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.
