The Archer Cantilever Chair reinterprets the classic tubular steel chair for modern interiors. Its chrome frame provides a gentle spring for comfort, while the shaped oak seat and backrest introduce warmth and balance. Subtle semi-circular details create a harmonious visual rhythm throughout the design, giving the chair a refined yet practical character suited to both home and contract settings. Designed by Magnus Long for SCP, inspired by early tubular steel cantilever chairs. Chrome tubular steel frame provides lightness, strength and a gentle spring for comfortable seating.
Our Stylist Says
I love the SCP Archer Cantilever Chair for its sleek, understated design that seamlessly blends modern and minimalist aesthetics. Its clean lines and natural wood finish make it highly versatile, working well in contemporary, Scandinavian, or even industrial interiors. Practical styling tips include pairing it with a neutral-toned dining table to emphasise its simplicity or combining it with colourful accents for a more eclectic look. Its lightweight construction makes it easy to move around, so consider using it as a statement piece in small dining spaces or breakfast nooks. Overall, it’s a functional yet stylish addition that can elevate the feel of any dining area.

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.
