Heal's Shallow Divan Single Dolly Armour Light Solid Wood Feet
Our Stylist Says
The Heal's shalow divan is a versatile piece that works particularly well in contemporary or minimalist interiors, thanks to its clean silhouette and light wood feet that add a subtle touch of warmth. I love how its sleek design makes it interchangeable with various colour schemes and styles, whether layered with textured bedding or paired with statement headboards. Practical styling tips include keeping the space around it uncluttered to highlight its simple elegance or adding layered textiles and cushions for a cosy yet polished look. Its understated design lends itself to a range of interior themes, from Scandinavian lightness to modern urban bedrooms.

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.
