Price History
Description
Our new Richmond Ottoman features a plump cushion upholstered in beautiful fabrics creating a stunning design that is built to stand the test of time. Classic in its simplicity, the ottoman sits upon smartly tapered legs made from hardwearing ash or beech, and is suited perfectly to the rest of the Richmond sofa range. Its versatile shape can carry any type of fabric, but Richmond looks particularly stylish in a rich, colourful velvet that will contrast beautifully with monochrome or metallic accessories.
Our Stylist Says
I love this footstool because of its versatile and understated design, making it a great addition to both contemporary and classic interiors. Its neutral linen-cotton fabric and black beech feet bring a sophisticated yet welcoming feel, perfect for living rooms or bedrooms seeking a calm, natural aesthetic. Styling-wise, it works well paired with plush sofas or as an extra seat at the foot of the bed. Practical tips include using it as a resting spot for trays or books or adding a soft throw for a cosy vibe. Its modest size makes it adaptable, and choosing it in a neutral colour ensures it complements a range of colour schemes and textures.

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.
