Price History
Description
The compact yet comfortable Pendel armchair is the perfect piece for a formal setting or simply curling up in. The elegant line of the high backrest and curved arms is characteristic of Pinch design. Handcrafted from solid beech, a luxurious timber that is not commonly found in modern-day sofas, the frame is filled with a pocket sprung base as well as foam and wadding cushioning. Made in Britain, the Pendel armchair is also available as a two seater sofa. Each piece is skilfully upholstered in a selection of Heal’s or designer fabrics with a choice of solid oak or walnut feet.
Our Stylist Says
I love this armchair for its classic silhouette paired with the contemporary Capelo linen-cotton fabric, which offers both comfort and a stylish edge. It works particularly well in mid-century-inspired living rooms or cosy reading nooks, where its clean lines and neutral Inkspot Walnut upholstery can be complemented with textured throws or patterned cushions. Practical styling tips include mixing it with other natural wood furniture and soft textiles to create a warm, inviting atmosphere. Its versatile look makes it suitable for both traditional and modern interiors, and its comfortable proportions mean it’s great for everyday use while still adding a touch of sophistication.

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.
