Description
Combining superior comfort with contemporary style, the Iver armchair features a distinctive slim frame, together with sumptuous curves and piped arms. Perfect for compact spaces – without compromising on generous seating – the armchair is lightweight in design with slender metal feet. Contrast with traditional furniture or complement modern interiors.
Our Stylist Says
I really like the Iver armchair in velvet - its sleek charcoal shade and black feet make it a versatile piece that can easily anchor a modern or transitional space. The velvet finish adds a touch of luxury without feeling overdone, while the structured shape and comfortable proportions make it practical for everyday living. It works well in a variety of interiors, from monochrome minimalist settings to eclectic or even cosy, layered schemes. For styling tips, consider pairing it with textured cushions or a soft throw for added comfort, and place it alongside other dark-toned or natural materials to create a cohesive look. Its understated elegance makes it a thoughtful choice for both lounge areas or as a statement piece in a reading nook.

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.
