Price History
Description
Around is a set of coffee tables created by Danish designer Thomas Bentzen. The idea behind the design came to Bentzen when he was thinking about his childhood, 'as a child when visiting my grandparents' house, I was always nervous about stumbling into their table and spilling something on the beautiful carpets it gave me the idea for a subtle frame, warped around the table to border off its edge.' Paired with the subtle opening, these coffee tables add a welcoming personality to living areas. The Around Coffee Table is a family that comes in three different sizes, allowing for the design to works well on its own or in combination with multiple sizes and colours. Designed by Thomas Bentzen for Muuto. The wood is carefully cut, bent, glued together and polished to create a unique table. Beautiful bordered edge. The strong lacquered surface protects the tables from the wear and tear of everyday use. Pair with other sizes and colours to complete your Around setup.
Our Stylist Says
I love the Heal’s Around coffee table for its minimalist yet substantial design, making it a versatile addition to a variety of interiors. Its large, round surface works well in open-plan living spaces, especially when styled with a mix of contemporary and Scandinavian influences. For practical styling, consider layering with a few textured trays, decorative books, or a small plant to create visual interest without clutter. It’s particularly well-suited to light, airy settings, but can also soften more industrial or modern interiors thanks to its natural wood finish. Its sturdy build and simple silhouette make it a great focal point, while also offering practical space for holding drinks, reading materials, or occasional decor in a relaxed setting.

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.
