Heal's 675 Chair
£540
Price History
Description
Originally designed by legendary British designer Robin Day in 1952, the 675 Chair is an icon of 20th-century furniture design. Its defining feature is the beautifully curved moulded plywood back and armrests, formed in one continuous sweep for a distinctive, finely balanced silhouette. A slender tubular steel frame creates an elegant contrast, while the upholstered seat adds everyday comfort. Reissued by Case in collaboration with the Robin and Lucienne Day Foundation, the 675 remains remarkably contemporary today. A moulded plywood back and armrests form a single fluid curve, showcasing Day’s innovative approach to material and construction. A tubular steel frame supports an upholstered seat, available in a choice of fabric, leather or Ultrasuede® finishes.
Our Stylist Says
The Heal's 675 Chair is a smart choice for anyone looking to introduce a modern yet timeless piece into their dining space. I love how it combines a sleek wooden back with minimalist black metal legs and a practical seat, making it versatile across different interior styles-from contemporary urban spaces to more understated classic rooms. To style it effectively, consider pairing it with neutral tableware and soft textiles to soften its sleek lines, or add colourful cushions for a touch of personality and extra comfort. It's an excellent option for those seeking a durable, stylish dining chair that can work well both in open-plan kitchens and more formal dining areas.

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.
