Price History
Description
A true decorative object, this cushion combines artistic creation, textile craftsmanship and contemporary aesthetics. Crafted using jacquard weaving, which offers rich texture and exceptional precision of detail, this technique faithfully reflects Matisse’s graphic world, resulting in a subtle, elegant and distinctly modern look. Entirely woven and made in France in the Jules Pansu workshops. Reproduction of the artwork has been approved by the Matisse Heirs.
Our Stylist Says
I love this cushion for adding a pop of colour and a touch of artistic flair to both contemporary and eclectic interiors. The Jules Pansu Matisse Amphitrite cushion works particularly well with neutral sofas or layered with other pattern-rich textiles for a curated look. It’s ideal for styling in living rooms or bedrooms where you want to introduce visual interest without overwhelming the space. Practical tips include pairing it with muted tones to let the pattern stand out or mixing it with other cushions in bold, complementary hues for a vibrant, playful feel. Its 45x45cm size makes it versatile for both armchairs and sofas, and it’s durable enough for everyday use while maintaining a fresh, designer-inspired look.

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.
