Description
The Paris Armchair was designed over 30 years ago and has been updated with cleaner lines and refined proportions for all modern homes. As elegant today as it was when it was first released, the wide armchair features comfortable armrests filled with a layer of sumptuous feathers. The seat cushions are padded with high-density foam that will keep its shape for years to come, perfect for busy homes. Solid beech wood feet run the length of the base and are available in natural or in a dark stain finishes to suit your space.
Our Stylist Says
The Heal’s Paris armchair is a stylish and versatile piece that works well in a variety of interiors, from contemporary to more classic schemes. I love how the luxe velvet in Ocean adds a rich pop of colour without overwhelming the space, making it perfect for creating an inviting corner in a living room or reading nook. Its natural feet give it a subtle warmth and grounding feel, allowing it to blend effortlessly with both wood and neutral-toned furniture. When styling, consider pairing it with textured cushions or a soft throw in complementary hues to enhance its comfort. This chair is both functional and chic, making it a smart choice for adding a touch of effortless elegance to your home.

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.
