Price History
Description
Hand carved on the coast of Lombardy, Italy, the Boss Executive celebrates the beauty of naturally sourced walnut. Thanks to the craftsmanship of Riva 1920s workshops, this robustly formed dining table is decorated with the organic patterns of wood grain, it’s thickly cut legs creating a geometric contrast thanks to exposed joinery along the surface.
Our Stylist Says
I love this table for its bold presence and timeless walnut finish, making it a versatile choice for both modern and traditional interiors. It works particularly well in open-plan kitchens or dining areas that benefit from a statement piece, and its substantial size makes it ideal for larger gatherings or collaborative workspaces. Practical styling tips include pairing it with sleek, minimalist chairs to enhance its refined look or complementing it with textured textiles and natural accessories for a cosy, welcoming feel. Its sturdy, understated design lends itself to a range of interior styles, from Scandinavian to industrial, ensuring it remains a foundational piece in the room.

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.
