Price History
Description
The Sendai Rug from Louis De Poortere takes inspiration from traditional Indian fabric techniques, where colours flow into one another through soft, tie-dye-like gradients. Reworked with a contemporary sensibility, the design captures the fluidity and movement of these artisanal effects through large areas of gently shifting colour. The Cottage Grey colourway brings together warm grey, stone and cream tones for a softer, understated look that sits naturally within contemporary interiors. Woven in Belgium on Jacquard looms from 100% polyester, it combines more than a century of craftsmanship with a durable, washable and fully recyclable construction. Woven in Belgium on Jacquard looms from 100% polyester. Machine washable and voted Best Luxury Washable Rug by The Independent. Crafted to be 100% recyclable.

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.
