Price History
Description
Legendary French designer Pierre Paulin originally designed the Pacha Lounge Chair in 1975. Paulin designed the range in harmony with the changing design style of its period, replacing the austerity of post-war design with a new, vigorous approach. Paulin managed to give a real elegance to the rounded forms of the Pacha by finding the perfect proportions, raising it lightly on its base and tracing in the foam and upholstery with stitching lines inclined inwards.
Our Stylist Says
This armchair is a fantastic statement piece that works beautifully in contemporary or luxe interiors, thanks to its sculptural form and pearl gold base. I love how its rounded, cosy silhouette adds a touch of softness to a room while remaining sophisticated. It’s versatile enough to sit comfortably in a living room, lounge area, or even a bedroom nook. For styling, consider pairing it with neutral-toned textiles or bold colour contrasts to make it pop. Practical tips include placing it near a side table with a warm lamp for cosy evenings, and adding a patterned cushion can bring in texture and personalise the look. Its sculptural presence makes it a great focal point that can elevate the overall decor effortlessly.

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.
