Price History
Description
Elliot Chair was inspired by the juxtaposition of old and new design seen in converted Brooklyn brownstones: modern with historical references. The ergonomically-designed curved backrest is made from a series of carved wood components, revealing a stunning composition of grain patterns. Part of a family of furniture including a dining table, desk, and dressing table.
Our Stylist Says
I love this chair for its clean, timeless design and the warm Danish oiled walnut finish. It works particularly well in contemporary, Scandi-inspired interiors, where its natural wood tone adds warmth without overwhelming the space. Its rounded arms and simple silhouette make it versatile, pairing well with both textured fabrics and minimalist tables. For styling tips, consider pairing it with a neutral or earthy-toned table and layering with cosy textiles like linen or wool in soft hues. It’s also practical to mix and match with other chairs or in different rooms, thanks to its understated elegance. This piece is ideal for those looking to create a sophisticated yet inviting dining area.

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.
