Description
"A visually characteristic design, the Burra collection demanded an equally characteristic name. Short for burrata, the round and famously soft Italian cheese, Burra invites you into its enveloping embrace with its exceptionally comfortable seat and pleasant aesthetic. As implied by its name, the design is a study in softness. Distinguished by its accentuated round seat and enveloping back and armrest, the plump design offers meticulous seating comfort while the charismatic appearance makes a compelling impact in any setting. Alongside the burrata-inspired seat, one of the Burra collection’s main character traits is the distinctive, curved backrest that naturally evolves into armrests. Every element of the design alludes to its softness. Both dining and lounge chair variants are clad in full upholstery, while the design idiom consists of rounded, organic lines that melt together. The result is two bold, sculptural designs with their own unique expression. With their unusually plump dimensions and charismatic silhouette, the Burra Chair and Burra Lounge Chair transcend traditional furniture, making them statement pieces that add both functionality and artistic flair to any interior."

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.
