Our Stylist Says
I love this little footstool for its versatile appeal and understated style. Its soot black texture makes it a great anchor piece that works well in both modern and classic interiors, adding a touch of sophistication without overpowering the space. It’s perfect for pairing with a cosy sofa, creating a practical yet chic spot to rest your feet, or even using it as extra seating in a pinch. Styling tip: place it next to a statement armchair or sofa in neutral tones, and add a textured throw or a small tray on top for a cosy, functional touch. Its compact size and neutral hue mean it can adapt to a variety of interiors, making it a smart investment piece for flexible living spaces.

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.
