Description
Classic silhouettes inspired Matthew Hilton to design the formal Oscar Armchair for SCP. Retaining its classic charm with a touch of modernity, Oscar features button cushioning as well as expertly turned decorative wooden legs. The armchair’s pared-back silhouette with straight lines and natural curves lends it a contemporary edge. Slightly taller and slimmer than the informal version, this armchair is perfect for more formal living spaces.
Our Stylist Says
I’d call this the Oscar chair - its gentle rolled arms and turned walnut feet give it a timeless feel, while the ink-spot linen-cotton blend adds subtle texture. It sits neatly in both modern-scandi and more classic spaces, thanks to its clean lines and muted shade.
For styling, try it in a snug reading corner with a slimline floor lamp and a small side table in pale oak. A single block-colour cushion in muted terracotta or deep navy will lift the frame without clashing, and a lightweight throw in natural wool can soften the look further. It also pairs well with a low-profile sofa in the same family of fabrics if you’re planning a matched seating area.

Explore from Heal's. Founded in 1810, Heal's are an iconic brand with a history of innovation, and are synonymous with timeless elegance and exceptional 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.
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.
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.
