Price History
Description
Designed by Oscar Coakley, the Kvara Side Table embraces the honesty and strength of industrial materials. Formed from a single piece of wide mild steel, its striking Z-shaped profile is created through heat and pressure using traditional fabrication methods. Kvara celebrates raw materiality while bringing a bold, sculptural presence to contemporary interiors. Crafted from heavy-duty mild steel, pressed and folded into a distinctive Z-shaped structure. Visible temper marks and tooling lines celebrate the industrial fabrication process. Hand-finished edges and cork feet provide stability while maintaining the table’s raw, sculptural character.
Our Stylist Says
I love this side table for its sleek, modern silhouette and versatile materiality. Its sculptural form adds visual interest without overpowering a space, making it a great addition to contemporary or industrial interiors. It works well as a bedside table in minimalist bedrooms, or as an accent piece in living rooms, where its angular shape can provide contrast alongside softer furnishings. Practical styling tips include stacking some books and a small lamp on top, or using it to display decorative objects. Its compact size also makes it ideal for smaller spaces or reading nooks, providing functional surface area while maintaining a clean aesthetic.

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.
