Price History
Description
Classic silhouettes inspired Matthew Hilton to design the formal-style Oscar Sofa for SCP. Retaining its classic charm with a touch of modernity, Oscar features button cushioning as well as expertly turned decorative wooden legs. The sofa’s pared-back form with long straight lines and natural curves lends it a contemporary edge. Slightly taller and slimmer than the informal version, this sofa is perfect for more formal living spaces. Constructed using European Hardwood, bio-degradable jute webbing and hessian straps, and lined with renewable materials such as natural fibres and wool. Handcrafted in Norfolk with Heal’s upholstery. Designed by Matthew Hilton for SCP. Completed with decorative wooden feet. The Formal version of the Oscar range offers a taller and more upright seat position.
Our Stylist Says
I love this sofa for its sophisticated blend of formal elegance and contemporary comfort. The luxe velvet in Peridot adds a rich, vibrant touch that works beautifully in both modern and classic interiors, especially in spaces with clean lines and muted tones. Its walnut-stained feet lend a subtle warmth and grounding, making it versatile for various colour schemes. Practical styling tips include pairing it with scatter cushions in complementary textures or colours to enhance its formal aesthetic, and positioning it in a living room with neutral or soft-hued walls to really let the velvet stand out. It’s especially well-suited for elegant, understated schemes or more eclectic interiors that aim for a touch of luxe without feeling overly opulent.

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.
