Description
Exclusive to Heal's, the Sweep Footstool has been designed by Danish duo Says Who. Matching the chairs' curving silhouette and foam padding, this footstool is an ideal footrest for extra comfort. Features a wide swivel base which can turn 360 degrees. Upholstered in cotton velvet for a luxurious look and soft feel.
Our Stylist Says
I love this little swivel stool for its sleek, modern silhouette combined with a touch of plush texture. Its velvet mink finish adds a sophisticated softness that works well in contemporary or minimalist interiors, but it can also bring a luxe vibe to more eclectic spaces. The swivel function makes it practical and versatile, perfect for use as a footstool, occasional seat, or even as a statement accent in a dressing area. For styling tips, pair it with neutral-toned sofas or layered textiles to highlight its plush fabric, and consider placing it near a reading nook or living area where its mobility can be appreciated. Its understated yet elegant design makes it a versatile choice for both functional and decorative purposes.

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.
