Description
The Hidde leather armchair combines the creativity and craftsmanship that only designer Gerard van den Berg brings to the home. Organic in form, this egg shaped design encourages you to sink back in comfort, with the luxury of soft aniline leather and contemporary matt chromium swivel base.
Our Stylist Says
I love this swivel armchair for its ability to add warmth and richness to a variety of interiors, especially those with mid-century or contemporary themes. The brown yak leather gives it a sophisticated yet relaxed vibe, making it versatile enough to sit comfortably in both living rooms and home offices. For styling, I recommend pairing it with neutral tones or contrasting textures like soft throws or patterned cushions to enhance its leather finish. Its swivel feature makes it practical in social spaces, encouraging conversation and easy movement. To keep it looking its best, avoid direct sunlight which can age the leather prematurely, and opt for a tailored, understated accessories approach to let the chair be the statement piece.

About Heal's
Founded in 1810, Heal's are an iconic brand with a history of innovation, and are synonymous with timeless elegance and exceptional 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.
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.
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.
