Price History
Description
Exclusively designed for Heal’s by Russell Pinch and handcrafted in Britain, the Wallis is a compact yet generous armchair designed to sit alongside the iconic sofa of the same name. Pinch’s trademark style can be seen in the elegant silhouette and curved arms of the design creating a beautiful statement chair that works in both contemporary and mid-century spaces. It has a hardwood beech and birch frame with stained oak feet and is upholstered in the softest of leathers and fabrics for a smart and sophisticated finish. Acting as the perfect partner, the matching footstool is the ideal place to put your feet up and relax.
Our Stylist Says
I love this armchair for its clean, modern silhouette and versatile colour. The Duck Egg shade offers a soft touch of colour that works particularly well in neutral or pastel palettes, but can also bring a subtle pop in more eclectic schemes. Its linen mix fabric provides a relaxed yet refined texture, making it suitable for both contemporary and classic interiors. Practical styling tips include pairing it with light wooden or brass accents for a fresh look, or layering with textured cushions for added comfort and visual interest. It’s ideal in cosy corners, reading nooks, or living rooms where a manageable statement piece is needed without overpowering the space.

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.
