Description
Designed and crafted in Portugal by Wewood, the light oak Contador Sideboard is the perfect fit for any interior.
Our Stylist Says
The Wewood Contador Sideboard in Light Oak offers a versatile and understated piece that works particularly well in modern, Scandinavian, or minimalist interiors. I love its clean lines and natural timber finish, which add warmth without feeling heavy. It’s great for adding storage in living rooms or dining areas, and its compact stature makes it suitable for smaller spaces or as a statement piece in larger rooms. For styling, I recommend keeping the top surface minimal with a few curated accessories or plants, while the multiple drawers can be filled with living or dining essentials, helping to keep the space clutter-free. Pair it alongside other light timber pieces or contrasting textures, such as ceramics or textiles, to create a balanced, inviting look.

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.
