Description
Rob Scarlett’s hugely popular Brunel range sets industrial style against mid-century Scandinavian design to create pieces made for modern living. Dynamic in its design, this functional add-on shelf provides another level of functionality and is designed specifically for the Brunel coffee table (sold separately).
Our Stylist Says
I love this piece for its blend of functionality and understated design, making it versatile across various interiors. Its minimalist aesthetic works well in contemporary, Scandinavian, or industrial spaces, offering a practical surface for coffee table staging or media equipment, while the lower shelf adds extra storage or display space. Styling tips include pairing it with neutral-toned cushions and vases for a relaxed look, or layering with books and art objects for a curated vibe. Its slim profile and open design also mean it won’t overwhelm a room, making it a smart choice for smaller living spaces or open-plan areas. Overall, it’s a stylish yet practical addition that adapts seamlessly to different interior styles.

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.
