Its feather-filled cushions are available in a range of Heal’s fabrics and colours – to perfectly match your style and interior design. Pair alongside a Devon sofa for a complete contemporary look. Scatter cushions not included.
Our Stylist Says
I love this armchair’s rich teal tone-it’s a versatile colour that adds depth and a touch of sophistication to both modern and traditional interiors. Its classic yet contemporary shape makes it easy to style with a variety of colour palettes and accessories. The Melton wool upholstery is not only durable but also offers a cosy, inviting feel, perfect for reading nooks or lounge areas. For styling tips, pair it with soft throws and cushions in contrasting textures or colours to create a layered, welcoming look. It works well in living rooms that lean towards mid-century, eclectic, or even more eclectic styles, and its sturdy beech feet give it a timeless touch. Keep the surrounding decor relatively understated to let the colour and shape of the chair truly 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.
