      Meet The Designer: Says Who
      One of the new starring pieces for SS20 is the Lars bedroom collection, designed by Says Who exclusively for Heal’s. Characterising contemporary minimalist design with its elegant joinery, Lars brings a cool and timeless appeal to the new season collection. We sat down with Kasper Meldgaardm, one half of Says Who, to discover more about the collection. Can you give us a brief history about Says Who? Nikolaj and I grew up together in north Denmark, so we’re lifelong friends as well as business partners. Nikolaj’s background lies in design whilst mine is in engineering and business, and by combining our experience with a mutual passion for furniture, Says Who was born. We have been running Says Who for 10 years now, working with customers, retailers and brands across the globe, from China to America and throughout Europe. How did the collaboration with Heal’s come about? We were initially introduced to Elena, the furniture buyer at Heal’s, through a network of suppliers. We have always been great admirers of Heal’s, so it’s a real honour to be part of the new collection. This collaboration is something we’re really proud of. We wanted to pay homage to Heal’s by creating furniture that echoed its heritage, whilst bringing traditional craftsmanship to a modern audience. The painted cabinets offer a contemporary feel whilst the super slim line finish and neat detailing showcases the craft. Our aim was to create a range of functional storage, whilst giving customers the experience of high-quality design, which I think represents the ethos of Heal’s. Where do you find inspiration when designing new products? We’re always looking at what other designers are creating to see the new ways furniture is being produced, so that we can carve a new path and push our own boundaries. Design fairs are great for exploring the emerging trends and we travel round the world a lot as part of our research, but ideas might also be sparked when I’m least expecting it – it’s interesting to think about how much my sub-conscious absorbs and is constantly working away! What were your processes behind designing the new Lars collection for Heal’s? We have nine people in our team, and whenever we start a new project we’ll work together, sketching out different ideas until our concepts are crystalized. These will then be created digitally, at which point we would share our ideas with Heal’s and incorporate the team’s feedback into our designs until we have finalised a product that everyone admires. Each season comes round really quickly, so we rely a lot on technology to effectively collaborate. A lot of production has actually moved out of Denmark over the last decade, so it’s important for us to understand how our designs will be produced and what aspects of the engineering process are possible. More recent programmes and tools, such as 3D printing and virtual reality, have enabled us to experience designs at a very early stage of the process. This means we’re able to quickly identify which aspects we want to refine or modify, and work collaboratively with customers to realise their brief. Time is increasingly more precious, so the earlier we can perfect the smaller details, the better. What would you say are the key trends to look out for in SS20? Homes will be designed to offer a more natural experience, whether that be through materials such as wicker and cane, or moving towards a warm and earthy colour scheme, with shades of sand, rust and woody browns. I also expect to see lots of texture, such as bouclé wool upholstery or uneven finishes in ceramics. We’re spending much more time using screens and interacting with a one dimensional space, so I think that we crave a tactile experience to make us feel more connected with our surrounding environment.

      Best Compact Corner Sofas For Small Rooms
      With a space-saving design that doesn’t compromise on stylish good looks, a corner sofa is a smart choice for those with smaller or awkward spaces, while providing superior comfort thanks to their cocooning and enveloping shape. Here, we round-up the best compact corner sofas for small rooms, from contemporary silhouettes to traditional styles, so you can select one that’s just right for your taste and space. It’s time to cosy up. Is a corner sofa good for a small room? The clue’s in the name when it comes to corner sofas, as they can be pushed into the corner of a room to save on all-important square footage, making the most of an often-redundant part of a room and negating the need for multiple sofas that will inevitably consume more floor space. But that’s not all. They can also be positioned in the centre of a room to zone an open-plan living space and divide up different areas for varying uses (lounging vs. dining, or working vs. relaxing, for example). The trend for using larger pieces of furniture, such as corner sofas, to designate zones is called ‘broken-plan’ living – which sits somewhere between open- and closed-plan. Lilli For homes where flexibility is key, the Lilli collection adapts beautifully to the way you live. Designed exclusively for Heal's by Danish design studio Says Who, its modular collection includes chaise, armless and curved units that can be configured to suit compact living rooms or evolve as your space changes.  Soft curves, a gently rounded silhouette and deep foam cushioning create an inviting place to unwind, while subtle pull-in stitch detailing and recessed natural beech feet lend a refined Scandinavian aesthetic. It's a sofa that brings together versatility, comfort and timeless design without overwhelming smaller interiors. Create your ideal Lilli sofa configuration here. Aurelie The Aurelie Chaise Sofa is designed to make the most of every square metre, its softly curved silhouette creating a natural flow that opens up the room while offering a generous place to relax. Styled with tactile textures, layered lighting and a thoughtfully chosen coffee table, it becomes the heart of the home - equally suited to quiet evenings with a book or gathering friends for drinks. As a modular design, Aurelie can be tailored to suit your space, adapting as your home evolves. Deep foam cushioning and refined piping lend a luxurious finish, while its understated elegance complements both contemporary apartments and period homes. It's a sofa that proves compact living doesn't mean compromising on style, creating a space that's every bit as welcoming as it is beautifully designed. Discover the Aurelie range and configure your own sofa. Morven Create a living room that's made for slowing down with the Morven Sofa. Its generous, pillow-like silhouette brings an inviting softness to compact spaces, while modular elements allow you to tailor the layout to your home. Upholstered in your choice of Heal's luxurious fabrics, Morven combines effortless comfort with timeless Scandinavian design, making it the perfect centrepiece for relaxed, modern living. Discover the Morven range and configure your own sofa. Brunel Compact spaces benefit from furniture that works as hard as it looks, and the Brunel Chaise Sofa does exactly that. Designed exclusively for Heal's by Rob Scarlett, its clean lines and slim proportions combine industrial detailing with mid-century influences to create a timeless centrepiece for modern living.  The clever reversible chaise can be switched from left to right to suit your room as it evolves, making it ideal for apartments and multifunctional spaces. Crafted in Britain with supportive foam and fibre cushions, Brunel offers everyday comfort alongside considered design, proving that compact living doesn't mean compromising on style. Shop the Brunel collection here. What colour sofa is best for a small living room? A compact living room doesn't have to mean compromising on colour. Rich, earthy tones can add warmth and depth without making a space feel enclosed, particularly when paired with furniture that has a lighter visual footprint. The Matera Chaise Sofa is a perfect example, combining slim, elevated legs and clean contemporary lines with beautifully soft leather upholstery. Styled with natural materials, layered textiles and a considered palette, it creates a welcoming focal point that feels both spacious and effortlessly refined.
