Wallis Armchair Leather Nero Natural Feet
Our Stylist Says
I love this armchair for its sleek, modern silhouette combined with the rich, natural leather finish, making it an effortlessly sophisticated addition to both contemporary and classic interiors. It's versatile enough to work in a variety of settings, whether as a statement piece in a minimalist living room or as a cosy reading nook in a more eclectic space. For styling, pair it with soft textiles like throws and cushions in muted or contrasting colours to add texture and warmth. Placing it near a wooden side table or a soft rug can help create a welcoming, layered look. Its leather finish makes it durable and easy to maintain, ideal for busy households that want a stylish yet practical piece.

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.
