Price History
Description
Since its introduction in 2013, the Beetle Lounge Chair has been well received by end-consumers as well as interior architects. Due to its appealing design, outstanding comfort and unique customisation possibilities, the dining chair can be seen in many of the most renown restaurants around the world.
Our Stylist Says
I’m a fan of the Beetle chair for its softly rounded silhouette and tactile upholstery - it brings both comfort and character to a room. It works equally well in a minimalist living area or a mid-century inspired study, where its muted Plain 25 fabric acts as a neutral backdrop to bolder accents. To style, consider placing it beside a low-profile side table topped with a slim lamp or a stack of design books. A contrasting throw cushion in a rich hue (think mustard or deep teal) will lift the upholstery, while a woven rug underneath helps anchor the chair and define the seating zone.

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.
