Description
A celebration of classic minimalism, the Circa stool series is designed to stand the test of time. The smooth, curved edges of the seat rest on a sturdy base crafted in black powder coated steel. As implied by its name, circles are a recurring element in the design of the stool series. The distinctive, circular shape of the seat is repeated in the rounded footrest as well as in the practical hole in the middle of the seat, which allows for the stool to be easily carried around. The use of repetition ensures a harmonious and well-balanced expression in the design. With its contemporary and utilitarian look, the Circa stool series accommodates modern interior’s need for simplicity and functionality and offers the perfect solution for seating in residential or commercial spaces.

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.
