Description
Bit is an aesthetically pleasing, versatile stool with countless possibilities for your home. Use Bit as a pedestal for a floral arrangement, as a side table for a lamp, or as impromptu seating for that unexpected dinner guest. Inspired by clear-cut shapes such as monoliths and columns, designer Simon Legald's take on the stool is both bold and multifunctional. Its pixelated, speckled surface is created from small bits of 100% recycled household and industrial plastic, giving each piece a distinctive character. Versatile design: use as a side table, plant pedestal or occasional seat. Distinctive cone silhouette inspired by architectural forms. Made from 100% recycled plastic; each piece is unique in pattern and colour. Designed by Simon Legald for Normann Copenhagen. Dimensions: H42 x W36 x D36cm. Please note: Due to its recycled composition, variations in pattern and colour will occur.
Our Stylist Says
The Heal’s Bit stool cone is a versatile piece that adds a pop of colour and character to both contemporary and eclectic interiors. I love how its bold yellow-speckled finish lends a playful yet functional touch, making it perfect as a side table or extra seating in social spaces. Its geometric shape and vibrant tone work particularly well in pared-back schemes, where it can serve as a statement piece, or in lively kitchens and play areas to inject energy. Practical styling tips include pairing it with neutral or monochrome surroundings to let it stand out, or mixing with other patterned or colourful accessories for a layered, curated look. Its sturdy form and bright hue make it an effortless way to bring personality and practicality into any room.

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.
