Price History
Description
The Wallis bed marks the one year anniversary of our ongoing collaboration with British Designer, Russell Pinch. Following the success of the Wallis sofa and armchair, we commissioned Russel to design a bed using his trademark silhouette. The result was a compact yet generous bed that mixes soft curves and crisp lines. The headboard has a slight curve that forms a delicate edge and the oak feet (available in natural, stained or black finish) are positioned at the very edge of the solid timber with foam and fibre structure. Entirely crafted in Britain, the Wallis Bed is available in a number of fabrics.
Our Stylist Says
I’m a big fan of the Wallis velvet double bed in dusk - the smart velvet upholstery feels luxurious without being over-the-top, and the stained oak legs give it a clean, slightly mid-century edge. It sits neatly into contemporary, Scandi or even understated Art Deco schemes, thanks to its pared-back lines and rich tone. Styling tip: keep linens crisp and neutral to highlight the velvet, then layer in a couple of jewel-toned cushions or a chunky wool throw for texture. Pair with slimline oak or metal-framed bedside tables and a low-pile rug to balance the plush headboard and maintain an airy feel.

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.
