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 chair is a fantastic example of timeless design combined with contemporary appeal. I love its walnut finish and sleek black base which add warmth and sophistication to any space. It works particularly well in modern or minimalist interiors, but can also bring a touch of elegance to more eclectic or mid-century styled rooms. When styling around it, keep the surrounding furniture streamlined and neutral to let the chair truly stand out. Practical tip: pair it with a simple, monochrome rug and minimalist accessories to highlight its sculptural form, or add cosy textiles like a throw or cushion for a more inviting feel. It’s versatile enough to work as a statement piece in a home office, lounge or even a stylish reading nook.

About 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.
