Price History
Description
Slot, designed by Terence Woodgate, is an adjustable wall-mounted shelving system with hidden fixing holes and slots. Designed with simplicity at its core, Slot was created using the principles of reverse engineering; by positioning the vertical supports away from the wall, the shelves can be fixed to hidden slots facing the wall, creating a seamless look.
Our Stylist Says
I love this compact shelving unit for its sleek, contemporary silhouette and versatile deep blue finish-it adds a pop of colour without overwhelming the space. It works particularly well in modern interiors, minimalistic spaces, or homes that favour colourful accents. Its extendable design makes it adaptable for different wall sizes or to create customised storage solutions. Practical styling tips include layering books with decorative objects and plants to soften its utilitarian look, or grouping similar items for a cohesive display. Pair it with matching accessories or contrasting textures to add visual interest, making it both functional and stylish in kitchens, living rooms, or hallways.

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.
