Price History
Description
Joan Miro was a seminal figure in 20th century avant-garde painting. As a young man, Miro was trained in commerce but soon abandoned the business world to pursue a career in the arts. As an artist, he swiftly became known for combining Surrealism with abstract art to create a signature style that is instantly recognisable, even today. His bold sense of imagination conjured a unique visual language of organic shapes, calligraphic lines and semi-abstract forms. Miro's works are whimsical yet intricate with a passionate use of bold block colours. L'Oro dell'Azzuro is a lithographic print that makes a statement in the home.
Our Stylist Says
I love this print because it adds a vibrant splash of colour and playful energy to any space. It works particularly well in contemporary or minimalist interiors where it can serve as a statement piece, or in eclectic setups that embrace bold artwork. When styling, consider placing it above a neutral sofa or sideboard to let its colours stand out, and pair with simple accessories to keep the focus on the art. Framed in a sleek black border, it also pairs nicely with other monochrome or colour-blocked pieces, making it versatile for various colour schemes and room styles. Practical tip: lean it slightly if hanging feels too formal, or pair with other modern prints for a gallery wall effect.

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.
