Description
The Neva Light Barstool designed by Regular Company for Artisan is a minimalist approach to maximum degree, with a visual lightness accompanying the lightness of the body. Its feature backrest, ergonomically bent, softly transitions into the legs, creating a compact, firm support, visually highlighted by the expressive ongoing line. A simple seat completes the piece, underlining the alluring curves of the line it leans on. Expertly crafted thanks to Artisan’s 50 years of experience creating solid wood furniture. A perfect fit into smaller spaces and maintains its characteristic appearance in opulent interiors as well. Also available in other finishes and upholstery.
Our Stylist Says
I really like this barstool for its clean, understated design that blends natural oak with a subtle white oil finish, making it versatile for a variety of interiors. Its contemporary yet warm aesthetic works especially well in modern kitchens, breakfast bars, or open-plan living spaces where understated elegance is key. I’d style it with neutral tones and minimalist accessories to let its natural wood finish stand out, or mix in some textured textiles for a more relaxed look. Practical tips include pairing it with a lightly coloured surface to highlight the wood grain or stacking with other seating for casual gatherings. The Inox footrest adds durability and a modern touch, making it suitable for both residential and hospitality settings.

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.
