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’m a fan of the Vienna bench for its clean lines and warm, oiled-oak finish - it brings instant structure without feeling heavy. It suits minimalist, Scandi or modern-industrial schemes, and works equally well as extra dining seating, a hallway perch or the foot of the bed. To style it, tuck simple linen cushions or a slim sheepskin throw along one end, and place woven baskets or low-profile planters underneath for hidden storage. Pair with black-metal accents or muted textiles to highlight the natural grain and keep the look uncluttered.

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.
