Price History
Description
A statement low occasional table with a Carrara marble top and a lacquered steel base. Crafted in Carrara marble from the north of Italy, the contemporary low-lying looks of the Alster are designed to complement any modern setting, and to create a focal point in the room. Clean lines and a simple form allow the design to speak for itself.
Our Stylist Says
I love this table for its clean, sophisticated look and versatile appeal. The white Carrera marble top offers an elegant focal point, perfect for modern or contemporary interiors, but it also works beautifully in classic or minimalist spaces. Its understated design means it pairs well with soft textiles or statement furniture. Practical styling tips include layering with a few carefully chosen accessories, like a stack of books or a small planter, to add personality without clutter. Because of the marble, it’s best placed in low-traffic areas or where spills can be minimised, as it’s beautiful but requires some care to keep it looking pristine. Overall, it's a chic addition that elevates any living room while remaining functional and timeless.

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.
