Our Stylist Says
This armchair is a fantastic choice for bringing a relaxed, coastal vibe into a variety of interiors, thanks to its woven base and soft, inviting cushion. I love how it combines natural textures with a bold colour, making it versatile enough to work in both contemporary and more eclectic schemes. It’s particularly striking in casual lounges, sunrooms, or even bedrooms where comfort and style are equally important. For styling tips, pair it with light-toned wood, minimal metallic accents, and textured textiles to enhance its relaxed yet refined appeal. This piece works well as a statement accent or a cosy reading nook, inviting you to unwind in style.

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.
