Description
Organic shapes and modern pastel hues define this contemporary Squares Runner from ferm LIVING. Each runner is hand-woven on a Punja loom using traditional techniques and hand-dyed wool yarn. The rug's handcrafted nature means each one boasts subtle variations in colour.
Our Stylist Says
I love this geometric runner for its clean lines and modern aesthetic, making it a versatile piece that can elevate a variety of interiors. It works particularly well in contemporary, minimalist, or Scandi-inspired spaces, adding a touch of colour and pattern without overwhelming the room. Practical styling tips include layering it over neutral flooring or placing it alongside a sleek dining table or in a hallway for visual interest. Keep the surrounding decor simple to let the bold blocks of colour stand out, and consider pairing it with matching cushions or accessories for a cohesive look. Its size makes it a great choice for narrow spaces or as a statement runner in a busy corridor.

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.
