Perfect for compact spaces – without compromising on generous seating – the armchair is lightweight in design with slender metal feet.

Our Stylist Says
I love this armchair for its sleek, contemporary design and rich petrol velvet upholstery, which instantly elevates any space. The black metal feet add a subtle industrial touch, making it versatile enough to work in both modern and eclectic interiors. It’s a great choice for cosy reading nooks or as an accent piece in living rooms, especially when paired with tactile textures like wool throws or layered cushions. When styling, consider contrasting it with lighter or neutral tones to let the colour really pop, or team with darker woods for a sophisticated look. Practical tips include using this armchair to create a welcoming corner or as an extra seat in a social space, where its plush velvet ensures both style and comfort.

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.
