Price History
Description
Elliot was inspired by the juxtaposition of old and new design seen in converted Brooklyn brownstones: modern with historical references. A timber frame wraps around two painted hdf drawers which feature bronze pulls, dovetail joinery and a soft-close mechanism. Available in two heights for various uses. Part of a family of furniture including a dining table and chair. Drawer interiors are made from basswood, a blond timber with outstanding stability in varying climates, ensuring a smooth-running function. Drawers are detailed with dovetail joinery and a soft-close mechanism.
Our Stylist Says
I love how this desk combines rich, natural wood tones with a bold green finish, making it a statement piece that works well in both contemporary and eclectic interiors. It’s really versatile-perfect for home offices, creative workspaces, or even a stylish dressing table. When styling, consider pairing it with minimalist accessories to let the beautiful craftsmanship shine, or add colourful and textured accents for a lively touch. Practical tip: keep the surface clear and use understated organisers to maintain its sleek look, while the richly coloured exterior provides a great backdrop for metallic or textured desk accessories.

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.
