Price History
Description
A collection of contemporary cushions handcrafted by skilled artisans from India. Each piece highlights the unique textures, techniques and materials employed by the craftsmen of this region. This range celebrates a rich tactile experience featuring varied yarns, intricate weaves and a blend of vibrant and subtle colours.
Our Stylist Says
I love this cushion for its tactile, cosy texture and versatile neutral tone, making it a great addition to both contemporary and mid-century interiors. It works especially well styled against leather sofas or layered with other textured fabrics for a relaxed yet refined look. For practical tips, consider pairing it with complementary cushions in varying sizes and colours to add visual interest, or using it as a statement piece on a plain sofa to soften and warm up the space. Its understated style ensures it will fit into a range of schemes, from Scandi minimalism to boho eclectic, making it a practical and stylish choice.

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.
