Price History
Description
Designed by Paola Navone and exclusive to Heal’s, the Hepburn ottoman features the designer’s trademark blend of classic and contemporary styles. Made to order in southern Italy, a solid wood frame is beautifully upholstered in a choice of designer St Moritz wool, semi-aniline or soft leathers complete with mid-century inspired button cushion detail. The use of pre-stretched elasticated webbing plus foam core seat cushion with fibre topper provides a comfortable sit. Choose from three foot options natural, walnut or black wenge, to match your style.
Our Stylist Says
I love the Hepburn ottoman for its versatile, timeless appeal and the way the Daino leather adds a sophisticated, understated look. It works well in both contemporary and traditional interiors, especially when paired with neutral tones or layered with textured textiles for depth. Practical tips include placing it near a favourite sofa as a footrest or using it as additional seating for guests. The parchment leather finish subtly softens the overall aesthetic, while the sturdy construction and hidden feet make for a sleek, uncluttered look. Its size and shape make it an easy, stylish addition that balances comfort and elegance effortlessly.

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.
