Price History
Description
The CH47 Chair was designed by Hans J. Wegner’s in 1965 and is a perfect example of his desire for simplicity, function and beauty in all his designs.
Our Stylist Says
I love this chair for its simple, Scandinavian-inspired design that emphasises natural materials and craftsmanship. The smoked oiled oak gives it a warm, slightly muted tone that pairs beautifully with both modern and rustic interiors. It works particularly well in spaces that emphasise a minimalist or Nordic aesthetic, adding a touch of natural texture without clutter. Practical styling tips include layering with neutral or soft-textured cushions for added comfort, or pairing it with woven or linen textiles to enhance its organic feel. Its versatile, clean lines also make it a great functional yet understated accent in dining Rooms, home offices, or even as an occasional statement piece in more eclectic schemes.

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.
