Price History
Description
The Vienna Bench is part of the Heal's Designed by You collection, a series of dining tables and benches that help you create the perfect bench for your space. This premium bench offers a bold, angular design thanks to its angular metal legs. Pair it with the Vienna Dining Table to complete the look.
Our Stylist Says
I often specify the Vienna bench in grey-oiled oak for its clean lines and sturdy, open-leg frame - it’s an easy way to add warmth without bulk. Its slim profile makes it perfect in a hallway as a casual landing spot for bags and boots, or at the foot of the bed in a minimalist or Scandi-inspired scheme. To style, layer a textured wool throw and a couple of mismatched linen cushions for comfort, or pop a slim tray with a vase of greenery and your favourite coffee-table books. Underneath, tuck in woven storage baskets to keep clutter out of sight. Its neutral oak tone and black steel legs pair equally well with matte ceramics, leather accents or darker wall paints.

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.
