Description
The perfectly proportioned Wallis footstool, exclusively designed for Heal’s by Russell Pinch, sits comfortably alongside any style thanks to its simple yet versatile design. Sitting atop slightly tapered legs, the foam and feather filled cushion provides a comfortable place to rest tired feet. It acts as the perfect accompaniment to the Wallis armchair and is exclusively upholstered in the softest of leathers and fabrics for a smart and sophisticated finish.
Our Stylist Says
I love this ottoman for its versatile, understated style that works well in both modern and classic interiors. Its boucle fabric adds texture and tactile interest, making it a standout piece that isn’t overpowering. The steel black painted oak feet give it a sleek, contemporary edge, while also ensuring durability. It’s ideal for cosy living rooms or bedrooms, serving as both a footrest and an extra seat when needed. Practical styling tips include pairing it with soft neutral tones for a calming vibe or adding colourful cushions on top for a more eclectic look. It’s also a smart choice for smaller spaces thanks to its compact size and adaptable aesthetic.

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.
