Price History
Description
Solid in construction, simple in form, and sculptural in expression, the Daumiller Armchair's straightforward materiality and robust composition pays tribute to Rainer Daumiller’s lifelong affinity for natural materials and forms. Inspired by the traditional Danish milking stool as well as the China Chair by Hans J. Wegner, Daumiller set out to create a chair that would be able to withstand both children's play and adults' parties, and at the same time had a sculptural form that radiated strength and timelessness.
Our Stylist Says
I love this chair for its clean, Scandinavian-inspired look and natural timber finish, which makes it versatile for both modern and traditional interiors. It works particularly well in pared-back, minimalist settings or as a statement piece in cosy, rustic spaces. Practical styling tips include pairing it with a simple river linen or denim cushion to add comfort and subtle colour, or mixing it with other wooden dining chairs for a more eclectic table setting. Its sturdy construction and timeless design make it a reliable choice for everyday use while adding warmth and character to your dining area.

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.
