Description
Designed in London and handwoven in India this Purlin range features Eleanor Pritchard’s trademark graphic patterns inspired by London’s architectural lines and draws its name from a structure found on construction sites across the city. With a colour palette based on warm grey, this Purlin runner beautifully reflects the urban landscape in a clean and contemporary way.
Our Stylist Says
I love this runner’s understated warmth and modern, flatwoven texture, which makes it incredibly versatile for various interiors. It works particularly well in contemporary or Scandinavian-style spaces, where its muted grey tone can complement other neutral tones or add a calming contrast to darker furniture. Practical styling tips include layering it over a plain hardwood or concrete floor to soften the look or pairing it with colourful or patterned furniture for a balanced, unified scheme. Its slim profile also means it’s ideal for hallways or entryways where you want to introduce texture without overwhelming the space.

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.
