Price History
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
This armchair is a versatile piece that works particularly well in both traditional and contemporary interiors. I love its neutral linen upholstery combined with the heathered hessian finish, which offers a subtle texture and sophisticated look. It's ideal for creating a cosy reading nook or adding a relaxed yet refined touch to a living room. For styling tips, consider pairing it with soft throws or cushions in muted tones to enhance its understated elegance, or contrasting it with bolder colours and patterns for a more eclectic vibe. Its classic wooden feet add a touch of craftsmanship, making it a practical addition that balances style with comfort.

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.
