Description
In an exclusive collaboration with Heal’s, eco-designer, renowned furniture restorer and sustainable craftsman, Jay Blades has launched the Legacy Chair by Jay&Co – the first piece he has designed and brought to market from scratch.
Our Stylist Says
I love the Jay & Co legacy wingback chair for its bold, sculptural silhouette, which works well in both contemporary and eclectic interiors. Its striking two-tone design adds a modern twist to classic wingback shapes, making it a great statement piece in a living room or even a bedroom. Practical styling tips include pairing it with clean-lined tables and layered textiles like textured throws and cushions to soften the look. Due to its commanding presence, it’s best placed where it can be appreciated, such as a standalone seating area or as an accent piece in a minimalist scheme. Its versatility also means you can experiment with colour combinations to personalise your space effortlessly.

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.
