Our Stylist Says
I really like the Nimbus armchair for its versatile and understated design, making it a great addition to both contemporary and classic interiors. Its loop twill fabric in Fossil provides a neutral yet textured surface that works well with a variety of colour palettes, from muted tones to more vibrant schemes. The black feet add a sleek touch and help anchor the piece visually. This armchair is ideal for living rooms, reading nooks, or home offices, where comfort and style are equally important. For styling tips, consider pairing it with layered textiles like throws and cushions to soften its shape, or place it alongside a statement side table to create a cosy and inviting corner. Its clean lines allow it to be styled effortlessly with other furniture pieces, making it a flexible choice for updating your space.

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.
