Description
Timothy Oulton's Noble Souls collection is based on a simple idea: that today’s real luxuries are moments, not things; when we feel ourselves truly alive, and when we deeply reconnect with one another. The Noble Souls sofa collection encapsulates this idea through the whole process. The Noble Souls upholstery collection has been coloured using special dyes that are 100% organic, extracted naturally from different plants, using dye extraction techniques that are hundreds of years old. Deep in southern China, the elders grow the cotton on the mountain which is spun then dyed by hand using Indigo. The yarn is then woven by hand on large looms to make the fabric. This modular sofa collection is considerate of the environment and the makers without compromising on quality. Ultrafine goose down feathers fill the sofas, creating a super soft sinking feeling but also provides support from the areas of densely packed feathers. Create your own bespoke sofa by pairing the modules together.
Our Stylist Says
I love this sofa for its bold, vintage-inspired design and the rich, textured fabric that adds character to any room. It works particularly well in eclectic, industrial, or mid-century interiors where statement pieces are key. The corner format is excellent for creating a cosy, inviting seating area, especially in open-plan living spaces. For styling, consider pairing it with neutral-toned curtains and simple, modern coffee tables to avoid overshadowing its standout look. Adding textured cushions or throws can also emphasise its tactile appeal, making it both a practical and stylish focal point in your living room.

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.
