Price History
Description
The pioneering Lugo collection has beauty, simplicity and functionality at its core. Crafted from solid tulipwood with a deep, rich hued matt lacquer, this large sideboard is equipped with copious amounts of storage to ease home living. Characterised by its slim tapered legs, radiused frame and scalloped handles, it's a testament to the expert craftsmanship of the collection. The timeless sideboard is then finished with smooth and tactile drawer pulls, all of which have soft-close mechanisms for heightened convenience.
Our Stylist Says
I’m a big fan of the Lugo sideboard because its warm walnut tone and clean, splayed legs slot straight into mid-century, Scandinavian or contemporary schemes. The simple profile and subtle curving on the handles mean it’s understated enough to blend with neutrals, yet strong enough to contrast against a darker feature wall. Styling-wise, use the top to create a layered vignette - a tall vase with foliage, a low stack of books and a small sculpture - to break up its linear form. Inside, its generous cupboards and drawers are ideal for hiding tableware, board games or home-office clutter, so your living or dining area stays sleek and organised.

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.
