Description
Designed in collaboration with artist Clare Dudeney, this Heal’s cushion brings expressive colour and tactile detail to the home. Crafted in India, the cushion is fully embroidered using an intricate chain stitch technique that adds depth and movement. The abstract design combines rich blues, soft neutrals and earthy tones, creating a contemporary accent piece with a distinctly artistic character. Clare Dudeney’s work explores human experience through intuitive processes, reflecting emotion, relationships and their boundaries through colour and shape. Made in India. An exclusive collaboration between Heal’s and contemporary artist Clare Dudeney.
Our Stylist Says
I love this cushion for its bold, abstract colour blocking, which adds a contemporary touch to any space. It works really well in modern or minimalist interiors, where it can serve as a striking accent against neutral sofas or armchairs. For practical styling, try pairing it with textured fabrics or layered with other cushions in complementary shades to create a curated, eclectic look. It’s also versatile enough to work in both living rooms and bedrooms, giving a splash of colour without overwhelming the space. Its lively blue and warm tones make it a great choice for adding personality and visual interest while keeping the overall aesthetic fresh and engaging.

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.
