Price History
Description
The Heritage collection was inspired by the ercol 333 chair designed and created by ercol's founder Lucian R Ercolani. These pieces have been created by drawing on ercol's long design legacy by their In- house design team to sit along side a variety of furniture to create a modern eclectic look. The Heritage collection features the character and handwriting that is synonymous with ercol's mid-century identity and have been reimagined for the present day. The new Heritage Modern Loveseat is a contemporary take on a classic piece of furniture. Clean lines combined with tapered leg and spindles combine to make a stunning set for two, this contemporary loveseat is an ideal piece to sit with a dining table or just be a statement piece for a hallway or bedroom. Available in a clear dead matt finish or painted black.
Our Stylist Says
I love the Ercol dining bench for its clean, timeless design and versatile appeal. Its black oak finish adds a modern touch while still echoing classic craftsmanship, making it a great focal point in both contemporary and traditional interiors. It works really well paired with minimalist dining tables or as additional seating in a hallway or bedroom. For styling tips, consider contrasting it with softer textures like cushions or throws to soften its sleek lines, or pair it with natural fibres for a Scandinavian-inspired look. Its sturdy yet lightweight frame makes it practical for everyday use, while its understated elegance ensures it won't overpower a space.

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.
