An update of iconic post-war furniture, this perfectly proportioned suite is inspired by classic mid-century modern design. Fully-upholstered with graceful matching piping, this retro inspired design features a single supportive padded seat and button-cushions with bolstered back rests for extra support. Crafted in the UK, the sturdy birch wood frame has a low seat and strong symmetrical lines with sleek tapered beech legs completing the period style. The entire Mistral range is truly made to measure, available in a wide variety of Heal's own materials to suit your interior scheme.
Our Stylist Says
I love this footstool for its versatile, contemporary look and the plush velvet in Dusk Natural, which adds a soft, luxe touch to any space. It works well in both modern and transitional interiors, providing a stylish yet practical piece that can double as a coffee table or extra seating. To style it effectively, consider pairing it with neutral or muted tones for a calm, sophisticated vibe, or use it alongside patterned textiles and colour pops for a more eclectic feel. Its simple silhouette and wooden legs make it easy to incorporate into living rooms, bedrooms, or cosy reading nooks, offering practicality without sacrificing style.

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.
