Heal's | Beautiful British Made Design


If you happen to have visited the Heal's store lately you are sure to have been charmed by the array of beautifully British made products. This season’s collections reflect time-honoured techniques and Craftsmanship.

1 Modern British: Whitstable collection.
Named after the glorious British sea side town, this wholesome collection has a crafted feel, taking inspiration from Welsh milking stools called Stick stools; the leg detailing was originally designed to stop the struts from sticking into the mud.

2. Mint Configure Cushion by Laura Slater, 30x60cm, £50
The Yorkshire based textile designer has created an exclusive Limited edition collection for Heal’s called ‘Assemble Configure’. These bold painterly designs have an interesting patina, which are hand screen printed onto Linen.

3. Whitstable Three-legged Chair by Mathers & Hirst, W52xD45xH80cm, £195
Handmade in Whitstable, exclusively for Heal’s this chair features superb detailing.

4. 405 Line Throw by Eleanor Pritchard, 150x180cm, £230
Made in a Traditional textile mill in West Wales, Pritchard's references are often esoteric, this piece for instance is named after the number of lines per inch for analogue black and white TV transmissions.
