Price History
Description
To create the simple yet sharp look of the Romana, Ercol have not looked to futuristic manufacturing techniques but instead relied on the attention to detail that has become a trademark of their wood workshops. Built from natural timber that is covered in a soft matt lacquer, the craftsmanship of this sturdy coffee table is a thing of beauty with angled joinery and chamfers offset by elegant curved edging along the sides and corners.
Our Stylist Says
I love this Ercol Romana coffee table for its clean, understated design that blends classic craftsmanship with a modern edge. The dead matt oak finish adds warmth and texture, making it versatile across both contemporary and traditional interiors. It works particularly well in minimalist, Scandi-inspired spaces where its simple lines can be showcased, but it can also sit comfortably in more eclectic or vintage settings. Styling tips include pairing it with neutral-toned soft furnishings and layered textiles for a cosy vibe, or using decorative trays and curated accessories to create a more styled, intentional look. Its practical height and sturdy construction make it great for both everyday use and as a statement piece in social 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.
