Description
Created by Hans J. Wegner in 1955, the CH88. P is a playful and graceful take on the traditional dining chair. Pairing soft curves with contrasting materials, this dining chair blends different styles and textures together seamlessly. Available in beech and oiled oak with black and white finishes, there's a configuration to suit any dining room. Versatile and stackable, this chair looks equally great in a café or a conference room.
Our Stylist Says
I’m a big fan of the CH88 chair - its oiled oak backrest and slim stainless-steel legs feel both light and durable, making it equally at home in a minimalist kitchen or a contemporary home office. The simple silhouette and natural timber tone work especially well in Scandi-inspired or mid-century modern schemes, and it’s low enough in visual weight to sit comfortably alongside more substantial pieces, like a chunky dining table or a floor-to-ceiling shelving unit.
For styling, try clustering two or three around a pale oak or white marble table, then introduce texture with a wool seat pad in muted greys or deep greens. If you’re using it in an office, complement its metal frame with a brushed-steel desk lamp and a small potted plant to soften the look. Its neutral palette also makes it easy to swap into different rooms when you fancy a quick refresh.

About Heal's
Explore from Heal's. Founded in 1810, Heal's are an iconic brand with a history of innovation, and are synonymous with timeless elegance and exceptional 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.
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.
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.
