A little piece of history about Heal's:
"Starting out as a bed-making firm in 1810, we've been designing and making quality furniture ever since. We love it and we're good at it.
When Sir Ambrose Heal joined the firm in 1893, he had the vision to work with the most skilled designers and craftspeople of the day to create furniture that is comfortable, beautiful and affordable, reflecting the ideals of the Arts and Crafts Movement. Influential designers like Mies van de Rohe, Marcel Breuer and Robin and Lucienne Day have all been drawn to Heal's distinctive character and reputation for innovation.
This tradition lives on. Heal's continues to work with the designers of the future and offer home furnishings that represent the best in contemporary design."
