Description
The New York Line Armchair reinterprets an iconic design through a softer, more expressive lens. Subtle linear detailing across the padding creates gentle volumes that enhance both comfort and visual depth. Upholstered in Ocean leather and set on a slender black nickel frame, the chair balances structure with softness, offering a welcoming yet refined presence in contemporary interiors. Designed by Sergio Bicego for Saba Italia, reimagining a classic silhouette with refined linear detailing. Generously padded seat and shell combine polyurethane foam, memory foam and feather for exceptional comfort.
Our Stylist Says
The Saba New York armchair is a stylish choice for adding a contemporary touch to any living space. I love its clean lines, combined with the plush leather and subtle detailing, making it both sophisticated and inviting. The leather in Ocean Col.14 offers a rich, timeless appeal that pairs well with both modern and eclectic interiors. It works particularly well in family rooms, home offices, or bedrooms where a statement accent chair is needed without overwhelming the space. For styling, consider placing it alongside neutral or textured fabrics to highlight the leather’s depth, and add a low coffee table or side table to enhance its functionality. The sleek metal legs give it a light, airy feel, making it versatile enough to integrate seamlessly into various design schemes.

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.
