Our Stylist Says
I love this footstool for its sleek, sculptural form and the way it instantly elevates a contemporary space. It works particularly well in modern interiors that embrace minimalism or mid-century inspired decors, offering both style and comfort. The clay colour and brushed aluminium base give it a versatile, understated look that can be paired with a variety of colour schemes and furniture styles. Practical styling tips include using it as a statement piece in a lounge or reading nook, or grouping several for a layered look. It also works well alongside neutral sofas or statement armchairs, providing visual interest without overwhelming the space. Its compact size makes it a flexible addition that can be easily moved and styled in different configurations.

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.
