Description
A wish for abundance. The Abundance collection seeks to give voice to contemporary Amazigh women, through the medium of rug making. For the Amazigh people, the Broken Checks rug represents abundance and new life. It is a tactile rendition of the traditional checkered design that defies fashion trends. The design, which seems to be missing pieces, is a work of art and ideal for standing alone or paired with furniture in any domestic or professional space.
Our Stylist Says
This mudcloth-inspired rug is a great way to introduce a touch of graphic character to both contemporary and eclectic interiors. I love how its broken check pattern adds visual interest without overwhelming the space, making it versatile for living rooms or bedrooms. It works particularly well layered over neutral or textured flooring, adding warmth and structure. Practical styling tips include pairing it with low-slung furniture to highlight its pattern or using it as a statement piece in minimalist settings. Its size also makes it flexible for defining a seating or dining area. Overall, it’s a stylish yet functional addition that can refresh a room with minimal fuss.

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.
