Description
One of, if not the, most iconic designs of the 20th Century, the Eames Lounge Chair & Ottoman personifies mid-century cool. Designed by husband and wife duo Charles & Ray Eames in 1956, this 'updated version of the old English club chair' set a benchmark in the history furniture manufacturing, combining luxurious comfort with the highest-quality materials and craftsmanship.
Our Stylist Says
I love this lounge chair and ottoman for its timeless design and versatile colour palette, making it a real statement piece that also blends seamlessly into various interiors. Its neutral cream shade with a touch of grey and black provides a sophisticated look, ideal for contemporary, mid-century modern, or even eclectic spaces. When styling, consider pairing it with minimalist furniture to highlight its sculptural form or adding textured throws and cushions to soften its sleekness. It works particularly well in homes with warm wood accents or monochrome schemes, and placing it near a reading nook or beside a statement side table can create a practical yet stylish relaxation corner. The chair's ergonomics and iconic silhouette make it a functional focus in both living rooms and home offices.

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.
