A collection of contemporary cushions handcrafted by skilled artisans from India. Each piece highlights the unique textures, techniques and materials employed by the craftsmen of this region. This range celebrates a rich tactile experience featuring varied yarns, intricate weaves and a blend of vibrant and subtle colours. Designed by the in-house Tom Dixon London Studio. Generously squashy, with bounce-back support from a recycled polyester pad.
Our Stylist Says
I love the bobble cushion's plush texture, which adds tactile interest and cosy warmth to any space. It's particularly versatile-it works well in contemporary interiors when styled on a neutral sofa for a subtle textural contrast, or in more eclectic or layered schemes where its tactile quality can stand out. Practical styling tips include pairing it with smooth fabrics for visual contrast or using it as a statement piece amidst a mix of neutral tones. Its deep, rich hue lends itself to both minimalist and maximalist interiors, offering a chic yet inviting focus. This cushion is a great choice for adding a bit of tactile luxury without overwhelming the overall scheme.

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.
