Price History
Description
The Flip Chair features a solid wood frame defined by clean, angular geometry and a sculptural silhouette. The bent backrest is crafted from thin veneer slices of high-quality oak, combining strength with visual lightness. Armrests are integrated into the frame with rectilinear supports, reinforcing the chair’s distinctive character. The structural elements are joined using visible, characteristic wedged mortise and tenon joints. Plastic gliders are attached to the legs, making the chair suitable for most flooring types. Available in a range of finishes, including natural oak lacquer and fully pigmented colours. Each finish highlights the wood grain while offering a contemporary colour palette suited for a variety of interior styles.
Our Stylist Says
I love this chair for its sleek, minimalist design and the striking blue finish which adds a modern touch to any dining space. Its wooden frame makes it versatile, working well in both contemporary and Scandinavian-inspired interiors. The blue hue offers a subtle pop of colour without overwhelming a room, making it ideal for pairing with neutral tones or bold, contrasting shades. For styling, consider layering with textured tableware or pairing with upholstered chairs for variation. It also works well in smaller dining areas or as an accent piece in open-plan kitchens, offering both style and practicality for everyday dining or entertaining.

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.
