Price History
Description
Za:Za is the result, as the name suggests, of a close collaboration between Zaven and Zanotta, a work of synthesis and deconstruction, where the canonical elements that make up the sofa have been examined, decomposed and reduced to the essentials.
Our Stylist Says
I love the Za:Za sofa for its modern yet cosy vibe, making it versatile across a range of interiors from contemporary to more eclectic spaces. Its rounded arm shape and plush silhouette create an inviting look-perfect for relaxed lounging or casual gatherings. When styling, consider pairing it with minimalist coffee tables and textured cushions for visual interest, or layer with a soft throw for added comfort. Its understated design lends itself well to neutral colour palettes, but don’t be afraid to jazz it up with bold accessories or vibrant rugs to make it stand out. Practically, it works well in open-plan living areas, while its supportive shape makes it suitable 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.
