Description
Adding to the new Penrose furniture collection is a three-door low sideboard, featuring generous proportions, clean lines and a distinct shadow-gap detail. Toughened glass and adjustable shelving complete the piece, for the perfect combination of form and function. Exclusively available at Heal's.
Our Stylist Says
I’m a fan of the Penrose low for its clean lines and warm oak tone - the smoked-glass panels keep display items feeling light rather than cluttered. It suits Scandi-inspired interiors or modern country schemes alike, and its low profile makes it ideal as a media console or hallway display unit. To style, keep the top simple: a pair of low vases or sculptural books with a single plant or candle works well. Inside, arrange crockery or coffee-table books in odd-numbered clusters, leaving plenty of breathing space so each object stands out.

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.
