Description

Available in five new European-sourced veneers and the classic Santos Palisander, it offers more than 2,500 configurations. Sustainably crafted veneer shells and a wide range of upholstery allow you to personalise with ease. Our curated recommendations make it simple to find the perfect fit for timeless comfort and contemporary living.
Our Stylist Says
The Eames lounge chair & ottoman is a timeless classic that works well in both contemporary and vintage-inspired interiors. Its chestnut leather upholstery adds warmth, while the polished base offers a subtle touch of sophistication. I love how versatile it is - it can anchor a lounge or study corner yet also elevate a sleek minimalist space. Styling tips include pairing it with textured throws or cushions to soften its leather and wood surfaces, and placing it alongside neutral surroundings or statement art pieces for maximum impact. This chair’s iconic silhouette makes it a statement piece on its own, but it’s equally compelling when grouped with other mid-century or modern furniture. It’s perfect for creating a curated, welcoming environment that balances comfort with design integrity.

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.
