Description
While cork has been used for centuries to seal our favourite bottles of wine, it also works wonderfully throughout the home. Spotting the potential of this mouldable and durable material, Jasper Morrison has designed a collection of angular shaped Cork furnishings, their quirky shapes and natural texture making a great decorative stool or side table.
Our Stylist Says
I’m a fan of this cork stool for its simple form and natural texture - it’s lightweight, sustainable and easy to move around. It works well in Scandi-inspired and minimalist schemes, as well as more relaxed boho or eco-conscious spaces.
Styling tip: use it as an occasional side table or plant stand in your living room, or pop it by the bathtub for towels and bath oils. Its warm tone pairs nicely with soft greys and off-whites, and you can layer a small cushion on top if you need extra seating. A quick wipe with a damp cloth is all it needs to keep looking smart.

About Heal's
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.
