Description
The Oswald Footstool has many functions which make it an ideal addition for Oswald Sofa Bed owners. It has been designed to transform the Oswald Sofa Bed into a corner chaise, a footstool or as additional seating for extra guests. This footstool also provides generous hidden storage under the lid. The simplicity of the rounded shape and the subtle texture fabric means it can suit any home which require more space.
Our Stylist Says
I really like this footstool for its versatile design and relaxed style. Its blue fabric adds a subtle pop of colour without overpowering a space, making it suitable for both contemporary and more classic interiors. I’d recommend pairing it with neutral furniture for a modern look, or layer it with textured cushions and throws in patterned or contrasting colours to create a cosy, inviting feel. Its practical size makes it ideal as an extra seat or a comfortable resting spot for your feet, and the storage feature provides functional storage without compromising on style. It works well in living rooms, bedrooms, or even a spacious hallway, especially in schemes that aim for a blend of comfort and understated chic.

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.
