Description
Create a statement with the Eton armchair, a mid century style that gives a look of luxury and offers a relaxed feel. This armchair combines a sleek, minimal aesthetic with the design details you would expect from Heal’s. The Eton has sumptuously filled seat cushions with neat blind stitch detail and its back cushions are filled with a mix of feather and fibre for maximum comfort. The legs are available in a choice of brass plated aluminium or blackened aluminium finish for a contemporary look.
Our Stylist Says
I love the Heal's Eton armchair for its bold colour and moveable luxe velvet finish, which makes it a statement piece in any interior. The Canary yellow hue adds a cheerful pop of colour that works particularly well in contemporary, modern, or eclectic settings. Its brass feet bring a touch of elegance and can be easily complemented with other metallic accents or warm-toned woods. Practical styling tips include pairing it with neutral or patterned cushions to soften the look or placing it near a large window or in a cosy corner to highlight its inviting, plush upholstery. It’s a versatile piece that can be styled to inject personality into both minimalistic and more eclectic interiors.

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.
