Description
A perfectly proportioned accent chair, the Elgin resonates classic design with a soft rounded back, tapered legs and elegant arms. Upholstered in Long Eaton, the Elgin comes in a range of different Heal's fabrics, making it perfectly suited to your living environment. The small proportions of the chair hug the user, creating a comfortable sit for all. The silhouette of the chair captures mid-century influences, and will look great as an accent chair in a bedroom or sitting room.
Our Stylist Says
This chair is a great choice for adding both colour and character to a range of interiors. I love its warm, inviting tone, which works particularly well in pared-back, neutral spaces where it can serve as a statement piece. Its compact size makes it suitable for cosy corners, living rooms, or bedrooms, especially when you want to create an inviting, relaxed vibe. Practical styling tips include pairing it with soft textiles like wool throws or patterned cushions to add texture, or mixing it with mid-century or contemporary furniture for a balanced aesthetic. Its sturdy wooden legs and durable linen upholstery also make it practical for everyday use, while the Chestnut stain on the feet adds a subtle contrast that grounds the look. Overall, it's a versatile, stylish addition that can elevate a variety of settings with ease.

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.
