Price History
Description
Inspired by the elaborate Victorian theme park once found in Crystal Palace, London, the Extinctopia cushion features a dramatic design of prehistoric motifs and comes in Galapagos Green and Rhubarb Custard colourways. Made from recycled velvet, it’s a luxurious addition to any room, while providing a real talking-point.
Our Stylist Says
I really like the Savages cushion - it’s a playful piece that adds visual interest without overwhelming a space. Its soft rhubarb and custard hues make it highly versatile, working well in eclectic, boho, or even modern interiors that benefit from a pop of colour and quirky pattern. It’s perfect for layering on a neutral sofa or armchair to inject personality, and it pairs nicely with natural textures like rattan or linen. For practical styling, consider pairing it with solid-toned cushions to balance the busy print or placing it in a setting where it can be the focal point, such as a statement corner or a bedroom with pared-back decor. Overall, it’s a charming piece that can add a touch of wit and warmth to various interiors.

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.
