Price History
Description
With the launch of the Lounge Chair in 1956, Charles and Ray Eames set new standards: it was not only lighter, more elegant and more modern than the conventionally ponderous club chair, it was also far more comfortable. It is these qualities that have made it one of the best-known classics in the history of modern furniture.
Our Stylist Says
This Eames Lounge Chair in Cherry Natural with a cream Sand seat and polished base offers a timeless yet contemporary look that works well in various interiors. I love how its classic mid-century design pairs beautifully with both modern and more traditional schemes, adding warmth and sophistication. It’s perfect for a relaxed lounge or a stylish home office, especially when styled alongside neutral tones or subtle textures. For practical styling tips, consider pairing it with a low wooden or metal side table, and dress nearby cushions or throws in tactile fabrics for comfort. Its versatile colour and sleek profile make it a great statement piece that complements both minimalist and layered, eclectic spaces.

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.
