Price History
Description
Expertly crafted by Vincent Sheppard, the Loop Outdoor Lounge Chair is available in two different finishes. Presented in black and taupe hues, Loop’s striking seat and backrest are crafted using synthetic rope to withstand outdoor weather conditions. Finished with an aluminium frame, the Loop Lounge Chair is also stackable meaning it is easy to store when not in use.
Our Stylist Says
The Vincent Sheppard Loop armchair is a sleek, versatile piece that works equally well indoors and outside. I love its contemporary yet timeless silhouette, making it suitable for modern gardens, patios, or even casual indoor lounges. The black finish adds a sophisticated touch, and its open, airy design pairs well with natural textures like wood and rattan or more industrial finishes for a chic contrast. For styling, consider layering with cushions in bold colours or patterns to soften the look or keep it minimalist and let the frame stand out. Practical tip: it’s a durable choice that can handle outdoor conditions, so it’s perfect for creating a relaxed, stylish outdoor seating area that can transition seamlessly between your garden and indoor spaces.

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.
