Price History
Description
Rob Scarlett’s hugely popular Brunel range sets industrial style against Mid-century Scandinavian design to create pieces made for modern living. Drawing inspiration from original 1950s designs by the likes of Robin Day and Clive Latimer, this chest of drawers blends perfectly within a chic, urban decor.
Our Stylist Says
I love the slim Brunel chest from Heal’s for its natural oak veneer and slender black metal legs - it adds a clean, Scandi touch without crowding a room. Its tall, narrow footprint is ideal in bedrooms, hallways or home offices where you need storage but have limited floor space. Styling tip: keep the top clear with a simple lamp, a small plant and a neat stack of books; use woven or fabric baskets inside the drawers for extra organisation; hang a round mirror above to bounce light around. It sits equally well against pale neutrals or deeper colour accents and complements both crisp linens and richer textiles.

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.
