Price History
Description
The TS Side Table by Gam Fratesi is extended from the classic TS Dining Table, made for the renowned restaurant The Standard, in Copenhagen - where not only was its name inspired, but also its form and material. It creates a sophisticated and sculptural aesthetic for any room, with characteristically slender legs, beautifully crossing details and contrasting solid round top.
Our Stylist Says
I’m really taken with the Gubi TS side table in Guatemala green - its rich marble top and slender three-legged base add just the right amount of texture without feeling heavy. It sits comfortably in both a pared-back Scandi lounge or a more eclectic, maximalist corner, grounding vivid fabrics or simple monochrome schemes alike. Styling-wise I’d keep accessories minimal to let the stone speak for itself: a slim table lamp or a neat stack of design books, plus perhaps a small ceramic vase. Its 40 cm diameter makes it ideal beside an armchair or as a compact bedside surface - just remember to use coasters to protect the marble.

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.
