Price History
Description
An ode to iconic mid-century design, the Nissa Chair has an exquisitely worked canaletta walnut frame that is upholstered by master Italian craftsmen. Designed by Maurizio Marconato and Terry Zappa, this contemporary dining chair features comfortable back and seat cushions upholstered in hardwearing natural cotton blend.
Our Stylist Says
The Nissa Chair in walnut is a stellar choice for adding a touch of understated elegance to both contemporary and classic interiors. I love how its clean lines and warm wood tone make it versatile enough to work in dining rooms with minimalist aesthetics or layered with richer, textured settings. Pairing this chair with a soft, neutral table creates a balanced look, while it also complements darker, more dramatic environments. Practical styling tips include layering with cushions in mixed fabrics for added comfort or contrasting with colourful tableware for a vibrant dining space. Its timeless look makes it a flexible piece that can easily adapt as your interior evolves.

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.
