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 this armchair for its modern take on classic shapes and the luxe velvet finish, which adds a sophisticated touch to any room. The rich blue colour paired with the nickel brass feet creates a striking yet versatile look that can work well in both contemporary and more eclectic interiors. It’s a great statement piece that also offers comfort and durability, making it ideal for living rooms or cosy reading corners. When styling, consider pairing it with textured cushions or a chunky throw for added layers, or contrast it with lighter tones like creams or greys to let the bold colour really pop. Its clean lines and elegant details make it a flexible addition that can elevate a variety of interior styles.

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.
