Description
Designed by Matthew Hilton for De La Espada, the 388 Porto Dining Chair boasts a Danish oiled ash base with grey Sunniva 2 242 upholstery. Ideal for dining spaces, this comfortable tub chair boasts a wraparound form that creates a supportive and relaxing sit. Cold cure foam padding provides further comfort and helps to create the curving shape. The chair is upholstered in Kvadrat’s Sunniva 2 fabric in a grey finish. Designed by Raf Simons and Fanny Aronsen, Sunniva 2 is woven using a new wool blend that lends the fabric a textural finish.
Our Stylist Says
I love how the Porto chair’s clean lines and soft grey Sunniva upholstery sit effortlessly in both Scandi-inspired and contemporary schemes. The Danish-oiled ash frame adds a subtle warmth, making it ideal for minimalist kitchens or muted dining rooms. Pair it with a simple oak table, natural-fibre placemats and a stoneware centrepiece to echo the wood tones, or introduce a textured linen cushion in terracotta for a dash of colour without overwhelming the neutral palette.

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.
