I just couldn’t resist showing you this page from the new Heal’s look book Autumn/Winter 2008. We wandered past Heal’s yesterday and were surprised to see several Orla Kiely prints hanging outside Heal’s on Tottenham Court Road. According to Heal’s “Orla Kiely has created a collection of furniture, for every room in the home, which showcases her distinctive style. Taking inspiration from the mid 20th century, each piece is beautifully crafted using Orlas iconic stem motif as a decorative element engraved in the wood and melamine and printed on the fabrics of each piece. From tables to sofas, beds to dining chairs each piece reflects both the designers work and the core values of Heals; to combine craftsmanship with the best of contemporary design. The collection also includes a complimentary range of rugs, lampshades, lambs wool throws and cushions, bed linen and towelling, scented candles and china.”
I absolutely loved almost every piece. The furniture was just amazing and I wish we had set up our wedding list at Heal’s rather than John Lewis! Oh well, if I start saving now I may be able to afford something by the time I retire. There are a few more images over at my flickr.
