Price History
Description
Inspired by the peaceful order of traditional Japanese tatami, Woven Tatami translates architectural rhythm into soft, tactile wool. Each rug is a study in repetition – lines, grids, and planes composed with meditative precision. Structured yet serene, the design follows a quiet logic, echoing the way tatami frames and divides space with gentle discipline. The texture of wool lends warmth to this order, grounding form in feeling. Crafted using ancient techniques, the rug’s soft, durable New Zealand wool creates a textured surface that feels both inviting and enduring. Hand-crafted by Linie Design’s artisan weavers, designed by Norm Architects. Variations in colour and texture can arise between batches of yarn and dye baths. Irregularities may occur as a result of the handmade process. Available from Heal's in 4 colourways. Linie Design are members of Care and Fair.

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.
