Description
A romantic twist on the classic Windsor chair, the Loveseat by Lucian Ercolani imbues a distinct and timeless allure that is conducive to a wide assortment of modern settings. Designed in 1956, the Loveseat reflects Lucian Ercolani’s discerning eye for detail and features his signature blend of beauty and functionality. Loosely inspired by the silhouette of the Windsor chair, the Loveseat features a moulded timber seat and spindle back-rest, gently curved to align with the body’s natural contours and provide optimal comfort. The Loveseat is offered in both solid ash and walnut timber. The ash variation is also available in nine bespoke finishes, including a soothing natural finish and the new, bold Modern Tones series by Christian Møller Andersen.
Our Stylist Says
I love this bench for its clean, timeless design and the beautiful solid walnut finish that adds warmth without feeling heavy. It's incredibly versatile, working well in both traditional and modern interiors, especially those with a Scandinavian or minimalist aesthetic. Practical styling tips include pairing it with neutral-toned cushions or throws for a cosy touch, or using it as a visual anchor at the foot of a bed or along a hallway for functional charm. Its solid wood construction makes it durable, but I’d suggest keeping it protected from excessive moisture to maintain its finish. Overall, it’s a refined yet understated piece that offers both style and practicality.

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.
