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. This footstool 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 alluminium or blackened aluminium finish for a contemporary look.
Our Stylist Says
I love this footstool for its contemporary yet versatile design, which works well in both modern and classic interiors. Its linen mix fabric in a subtle silver-black hue offers a sophisticated, neutral tone that can anchor a colour scheme or add texture to a pared-back space. The legs are sleek and elegant, elevating the piece without overwhelming. It’s particularly handy as extra seating or an ottoman for relaxing areas, and can double as a cosy footrest or even a centrepiece when paired with a statement rug. For styling tips, consider layering with cushions and throws in complementary colours, or placing it near a sofa to create a functional yet stylish focal point in lounge areas.

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.
