Description
Create a statement and pair your sofa or armchair with the Eton footstool, a mid century style that gives a look of luxury and offers a relaxed feel.

The legs are available in a choice of brass plated alluminium or blackened aluminium finish for a contemporary look.
Our Stylist Says
The Heal's Eton footstool in linen mix grey with brass feet is a versatile piece that effortlessly bridges contemporary and classic styles. I love its understated design and neutral tone, making it a flexible addition to living rooms with a relaxed or sophisticated aesthetic. It works particularly well in understated minimalist or Scandinavian interiors, where its clean lines and subtle texture add a layer of comfort without overpowering the space. For practical styling, consider pairing it with a textured rug or layered textiles to create a cosy, inviting corner. The brass feet introduce a touch of metallic elegance that can be accented with other warm metal finishes for a cohesive look. Its compact size also makes it perfect as an extra seat or a footrest alongside a sofa or armchair.

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.
