Description
A modern take on traditional armchair design, the elegant silhouette of the Hampstead provides a deep, inviting seat that suits both classic and contemporary styled décor. This armchair contrasts plump cushioning with sharply tailored upholstery, creating a relaxed yet neat feel that’s ideal within a busy family home
Our Stylist Says
The Heal's Hampstead armchair is a versatile choice that works well in both traditional and contemporary interiors, thanks to its neutral Limestone Chestnut stain and classic design. I love its understated sophistication and comfortable proportions, making it ideal for cozy living rooms or lounge areas. For styling, consider pairing it with textured cushions or a soft throw in complementary tones to add warmth. It also pairs beautifully with wooden or brass accents, enhancing its timeless appeal. Practical tips include placing it near a side table for drinks or reading materials, and using it as a statement piece in a neutral colour scheme to anchor the space without overwhelming it.

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.
