Price History
Description
The best-selling Brunel sets industrial style against mid-century design to create pieces made for modern living. Made in the UK, the neatly proportioned Brunel Armchair comes complete with tapered black feet and contemporary button cushion upholstery.
Our Stylist Says
I love the Brunel armchair for its timeless, understated style and comfortable proportions. The boucle fabric adds a tactile, cosy feel that works well in both contemporary and mid-century inspired interiors. Its steel legs lend a subtle industrial edge, making it versatile enough for city apartments or modern homes. For styling, consider pairing it with a mix of textured cushions or a soft throw to create a relaxed vibe. It works particularly well when placed alongside wooden or metallic elements, or as part of a statement corner in a lounge or reading nook. Keep the surrounding décor simple to let the clean lines and quality fabric stand out.

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.
