Price History
Description
The Grand Relax & Ottoman pairs exceptional comfort with a refined, understated silhouette. Soft, loosely fitted cushions create an inviting, relaxed appearance, while a concealed synchronised mechanism responds to the sitter’s weight, allowing the seat and backrest to move smoothly into a reclined position. Designed by Antonio Citterio, combining compact proportions with soft, enveloping cushioning and a refined contemporary aesthetic. Integrated synchronised mechanism offers adjustable reclining resistance, with a backrest that can be locked at any angle and a chair that swivels through 360°. Includes a matching ottoman, while four-star die-cast aluminium bases complete the chair and ottoman with a clean, architectural finish.
Our Stylist Says
I love the Repos & Ottoman for its timeless and versatile design, making it a standout piece in both contemporary and classic interiors. The chair’s sleek lines and comfortable, ergonomic shape lend themselves well to sophisticated living rooms or stylish home offices. It works particularly well with minimalist palettes or neutral tones, allowing it to serve as a statement piece. For styling tips, consider pairing it with a textured rug or layered cushions to add warmth, and using the ottoman as both a footrest and extra seating when needed. Its neutral, warm hue also makes it a flexible addition to various colour schemes, offering both practicality and visual interest in a range of 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.
