Description
Part of Tom Dixon's best-selling Wingback collection, the Micro Wingback Sofa is designed to work in smaller, more compact spaces. The design takes inspiration from traditional 17th century Wingback and balloon-back chairs, giving them a makeover for modern living. The wings block out sound to provide a calming, relaxing retreat.
Our Stylist Says
I love this wingback as it offers a compact yet stylish seating option with a distinctive silhouette that adds character to a variety of interiors. Its grey wool fabric is versatile and endures well in both contemporary and vintage-inspired spaces, giving it a fresh, tactile feel. Perfect for smaller living rooms, reading nooks or even bedrooms, it works particularly well styled with minimalist or modern decor, but can also be paired with bold textiles or patterned cushions for added personality. Practical styling tips include keeping accessories simple-think neutral throws or subtle artwork-to let the elegant shape shine. Its black legs ground the look and provide contrast, making it suitable for both light and darker coloured interiors.

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.
