Description
Inspired by the classic lounge chair form, Antonio Citterio has developed the concept of comfort even further with Grand Repos. With the use of considerate padding and adjustable sitting positions, this chair is able to combine timeless elegance with relaxed seating.
Our Stylist Says
I love this armchair and ottoman combo for its sleek, contemporary profile and inviting comfort. The Nutmeg colour adds warmth and versatility, making it a great statement piece that suits both modern and classic interiors. It works particularly well in relaxed living spaces, home offices, or reading nooks where you want a stylish yet comfy seating option. For styling tips, consider placing it near a neutral-toned rug or pairing it with a textured throw to soften the look. Keep accessories minimal to highlight the chair’s sculptural shape, and add a side table for practicality. It’s an excellent choice for creating a cosy corner that feels both functional and design-savvy.

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.
