Heal's Ro JH1 Easy Chair
£3,299
Price History
Description
Taking inspiration from iconic Fritz Hansen furniture, the curvaceous Ro Easy chair by Jaime Hayón is a contemporary lounger to lose yourself in. The swooping lines and cutaway silhouette of the Ro are influenced by iconic Arne Jacobsen designs such as the Egg and Swan chairs, both of which are exclusively produced by Danish furniture manufacturers Fritz Hansen. Mid-century design by Jaime Hayon. The large seat cushion is made from firm moulded foam with two similar pads on the back. Rounded cast-aluminium feet in brushed finish are angled to ensure the chair is always placed at a gentle recline. A textured upholstery is used for the chair whilst a smoother, softer textile wraps the foam cushions.
Our Stylist Says
The Heal's Ro JH1 armchair is a fantastic choice for adding a touch of classic sophistication to any interior. I love its sculptural silhouette and the way the high winged back offers both comfort and a sense of enclosure-excellent for cosy corners or reading nooks. It works particularly well in neutral, minimalist, or mid-century-inspired schemes, but its understated elegance allows it to blend seamlessly into eclectic or more colourful interiors too. For styling tips, consider pairing it with a textured throw or a small accent cushion to add personality. It’s versatile enough to stand alone as a statement piece or be grouped with other seating for a more relaxed, inviting arrangement.

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.
