Price History
Description
A stunning testament to Mid-century furniture, the best-selling Heal’s Mistral elegantly teams 1950s style with a contemporary approach to design. Part of our luxuriously comfortable Mistral range, this accompanying footstool adds a touch of vintage glamour to the home remaining one of our most popular pieces for over a decade.
Our Stylist Says
I love this pouffe for its versatile style and practical appeal. Its neutral tones and recycled fabric give it an eco-friendly edge, making it suitable for both contemporary and more relaxed interiors. I would recommend pairing it with a cosy sofa or a sleek armchair to add a touch of casual comfort, while its size makes it a functional footrest or additional seating for guests. To style it effectively, consider layering with textured throws or placing a decorative tray on top when used as a side table. Its natural legs lend a subtle contrast to more minimalist or modern schemes, but it can also soften a more eclectic or boho space. This piece is perfect for creating an inviting, lived-in look in living rooms or even bedrooms.

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.
