Heal’s bicentenary re-issued poster range

Heals posters

Heal's are gearing up for their bicentenary in 2010 in a big way. We've mentioned some of their projects before which include the Heal's: 200 years of design and inspiration book. They've also re-issued six of their finest advertising posters

There's not actually much information online on who designed what poster and when (perhaps you need to buy the book to find out) but they are all certainly attractive designs in their own right and offer a fascinating glimpse into how their advertising has changed over the years. The poster on the left was clearly used to launch their 1958 designs while the one on the right looks like it came from a few decades earlier. 

The posters are available for £12 unframed each or for £195 for a framed limited edition.

Kaleido bed set

Kaleidoset_m

Looking for an 80s look for your bed that doesn't involve referencing your favourite TV programme or computer game from that period? Well, the Kaleido bed set is covered with a very simple geometric pattern made up of triangles but its colour scheme of greys, blacks and orange gives it an 80s feel. It's also made from 100% cotton with a suitably grown-up 200 thread count.  

Even better is that it's currently in the sale. Prices now range from £32.50 for a single bed set up to £50 for a super king bed.

Slice chest and side table by Wales & Wales for Heal’s

 

Slice_heals

We’ve already featured the Robert Welch Hobart candlestick and the Heals: 200 Years book, but here’s another product that’s come out of Heal’s bicentenary celebrations. Part of the Heal’s ReDiscovers collection, the Slice chest and side table has been designed by Wales & Wales and is inspired by Christopher Heal’s multifunctional designs.

The chest and table are made from walnut but the orange lacquer detailing sets them apart. It’s a touch that’s been used in some of Wales & Wales’ other work that seems to work particularly well on these pieces. 

As you might imagine, this doesn’t come cheap. The side table costs £495 while the tall 6 drawer chest is £1495 and the wide version is £1795.
