The B611 Superellipse™ Dining Table is a celebrated example of Scandinavian modern design. Its distinctive tabletop combines the softness of an oval with the practicality of a rectangular form, creating a generous surface without sharp corners. Designed by Piet Hein, Bruno Mathsson and Arne Jacobsen, with the iconic Superellipse™ tabletop combining curved edges with generous proportions. The spacious tabletop and softly rounded profile create an inviting setting for everyday dining and entertaining. Available in a range of finishes, complemented by slender metal legs for a refined, visually lightweight silhouette.
Our Stylist Says
I love the Heal's Superellipse, or should I say, the ellipse-shaped dining table - it offers a sleek, modern aesthetic with its distinctive soft curves. It works beautifully in contemporary interiors, especially those that lean towards minimalism or modernist styles, but it can also add an unexpected edge to more eclectic spaces. Its black top paired with slender, wire-ended legs creates a light, airy look, making it versatile for smaller dining rooms or open-plan areas. When styling, consider pairing it with upholstered chairs in neutral tones for a calm, sophisticated vibe, or add colourful accents with vibrant tableware or placemats for a lively touch. This table’s shape encourages intimacy and conversation, making it a practical yet stylish choice for everyday dining or entertaining guests.

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.
