Description
The New York Suite Sofa balances retro influence with a contemporary edge. Quilted cushions introduce softness and a sense of nostalgia, while the structured frame and slim steel rod legs create a lighter, more architectural presence. Upholstered in Lario velvet, the design feels both luxurious and inviting, offering generous comfort across both 3 and 4 seater options. Designed by Sergio Bicego for Saba Italia, blending timeless elegance with a contemporary, metropolitan aesthetic. Quilted cushions provide a soft, inviting feel with subtle retro character.
Our Stylist Says
I really like this sofa for its sleek yet inviting profile, making it a versatile piece for both contemporary and more eclectic interiors. The linen texture adds a touch of softness, while the slightly curved arms give it a relaxed but refined look. It works particularly well in open-plan living spaces or larger sitting rooms, where its size can be fully appreciated. For styling, I’d suggest pairing it with neutral or textured cushions and a mix of modern and vintage accents to create a layered, lived-in feel. It’s a practical choice for family rooms or entertaining spaces, as its spaciousness encourages easy conversation, and the fabric offers a comfortable surface for everyday use.

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.
