Description
The Mu Table was envisioned to be both dynamic and organic in its visual expression by our designer, Mustafa Cohadzic. Mu’s artisanal touch can be seen in its tactility, as it is sanded, oiled and polished by hand, providing a smooth touch. The routed wooden table plate creates a groove along the edge, accentuating the contours of the organically shaped plate. The design itself allows for smooth incorporation with various furniture pieces, in very diverse interiors. Sanded, oiled and polished by hand, the table showcases artisanal and tactile craftmanship in its smooth feel. The routed plate creates a groove along the edge, accentuating the contours of its organic shape. Varying sizes can be combined by conveniently sliding under each other, creating various arrangements for your space.
Our Stylist Says
I love this coffee table because of its sleek oval shape and the warm, smoked oil finish that adds depth and a contemporary edge to the piece. It works particularly well in modern, Scandinavian, or minimalist interiors where organic shapes and natural materials are key. A practical styling tip is to keep the top clear for a clean look, but you can add visual interest with a few curated accessories like a stack of books, a small plant, or a decorative tray. Its understated elegance allows it to sit effortlessly in both relaxed family living rooms and more polished social spaces, making it a versatile addition that balances practicality with refined 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.
