Description
Hormazd Narielwalla is the second solo artist to take residency The Mansard Gallery. Titled ‘Pattern Symphony’, the exhibition comprises of Narielwalla’s distinct elegant abstract collages, and also features work from his most recent homage to David Bowie. By applying vintage tailoring patters to collaged forms of handmade papers, Narielwalla’s bold compositions use positive and negative space to create a rhythmic sense of movement, depicting the fluidity of the human form.
Our Stylist Says
I love this piece for its bold, abstract pattern that can act as a focal point in a variety of interiors. It works particularly well in modern or eclectic spaces where its vibrant colours and geometric shapes can complement minimal furniture or be a statement against more subdued palettes. Practical styling tips include hanging it at eye level in a living room or hallway to create impact, and pairing it with simple, plain frames or mount boards to keep the focus on the artwork itself. It’s also versatile enough to work in contemporary offices or creative spaces, adding a dynamic visual element without overwhelming the surroundings.

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.
