Description
Opting for simple functionality over flashy showmanship, Jasper Morrison’s designs pare back the elements to celebrate contemporary form. Developing the classic plastic shell chair, HAL offers a supportive seat with contemporary turned oak legs.
Our Stylist Says
The Vitra Hal Wood Chair 65 in orange with dark oak legs is a versatile piece that combines contemporary colour with natural warmth. I love how it adds a pop of colour without overpowering a space, making it perfect for brightening up neutral or monochrome dining rooms. It works well in both modern and Scandinavian-inspired interiors, particularly when paired with wooden or light-toned furniture to create a cohesive look. For styling tips, consider using it alongside a wooden dining table to enhance the natural vibe, or mix with upholstered chairs for an eclectic feel. Its simple design lends itself to both practical daily use and more styled dinners, making it a reliable yet stylish choice.

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.
