Designed by Piet Hein, Bruno Mathsson and Arne Jacobsen, featuring the iconic Superellipse™ tabletop.

Our Stylist Says
I love this table’s sleek, modern silhouette and its versatility-perfect for both contemporary and retro-inspired interiors. The superellipse shape offers a softer, more inviting look compared to traditional rectangular tables, and the extendable feature makes it practical for everyday dining and larger gatherings. It works particularly well in open-plan kitchens or dining rooms where space is a precious commodity, and you want furniture that can adapt to your needs. When styling, consider pairing it with minimalist chairs to keep the look fresh, or add a splash of colour with vibrant tableware or textured place mats for a more eclectic vibe. Its understated elegance means it can serve as a statement piece or blend seamlessly into a variety of schemes.

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.
