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
I really like this footstool for its versatile and contemporary appeal. The Pacha Ottoman’s soft, rounded shape and textured fabric lend a relaxed yet polished finish, making it a great addition to both modern and Scandi-inspired interiors. Its practical matte black base adds a subtle contrast surface, which works well in darker colour schemes or to anchor a neutral palette. It’s ideal as a casual footrest in living rooms, but can also double up as occasional seating or even a quirky side table with a tray on top. When styling, consider pairing it with plush sofas or mid-century chairs to create a lived-in yet curated look. To keep it looking fresh, complement it with layered textiles and accent colours to add warmth and personality to your space.

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.
