He explains: \u201cWhen we talk about history, we are taught to understand the role of past wars and the previous kings and queens on contemporary society. Often overlooked is the way that these have influenced the fabric of the way we live, and the impact this has had within our home. As the first major televised event in Britain, the Queen\u2019s Coronation in 1953 was a historic moment, and one that changed the dynamic of the home overnight. It led to millions buying their first television, which replaced the fireplace as the focal point of the room, and the concept of positioning our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/sofas.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sofas<\/a> around the TV screen for the best vantage point remains to this day.\u201d<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Henley-desk-SS23-37-720x514-f0d553be-4627-43e1-859c-28eaa777e614.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"514\" src=\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Henley-desk-SS23-37-720x514-f0d553be-4627-43e1-859c-28eaa777e614.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Henley-desk-SS23-37-720x514-f0d553be-4627-43e1-859c-28eaa777e614.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Henley-desk-SS23-37-720x514-f0d553be-4627-43e1-859c-28eaa777e614-300x214.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Fast-forward to 2023, and the rise of remote working \u2013 triggered by a series of lockdowns during the pandemic \u2013 has had a similarly influential effect on our interior design, with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/furniture\/home-office\/desks.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">desk<\/a> now crowned as the most practical piece for today\u2019s home by three in four households.

Elsewhere in the home, 97% of the population now considers the fridge as essential \u2013 perhaps as we get more discerning about the quality of our food and continue to prioritise our physical health? \u2013 while a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/bedroom\/bedroom-furniture\/beds\/king-size-beds.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">king-sized bed<\/a> is a must-have for one in four (sleep has never been more conducive to health and success while there\u2019s even an annual Sleep Awareness Week) and 42% of those surveyed can\u2019t live without a smart TV (an increasingly vital, and varied, source of inspiration and information).

David says: \u201cGlobalisation has allowed for international schools of thought to cross our borders. Founded in 1919, the Bauhaus spearheaded a wave of experiential design through the introduction of modernist tubular <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/furniture.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">furniture<\/a>, which focused on an elegant balance of form and function. More than a century later, it\u2019s not hard to see how the Bauhaus continues to shape contemporary interiors, with the UK\u2019s most recognisable designs including pieces like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/barcelona-relax-chair-venezia-cognac-leather.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Barcelona chair<\/a>.\u201d He adds: \u201cAs one of the first in the UK to bring this new international style to a wider audience, it would be remiss not to acknowledge the part that Ambrose Heal played in introducing revolutionary design to a whole new generation. His pioneering spirit and unwavering commitment to innovation continues to drive the brand\u2019s successors today, as Heal\u2019s carries on supporting innovative work and collaborating with established designers and up-and-coming talent.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pre-Bauhaus, the British famously decorated their homes conservatively, characterised by Victorian and Edwardian influences in dark colour schemes and highly ornate furnishings. That\u2019s all changed. \u201cThe need for design aesthetic and functionality have clearly become embedded within today\u2019s homes,\u201d David says, \u201cas these notions are the biggest influences for three in five of us when purchasing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/furniture.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">furniture<\/a>, closely followed by the need for comfort.\u201d<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/5580_Egg-chair-720x540-2732527d-bb5c-4e4e-ba1c-f1c748356ab5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/5580_Egg-chair-720x540-2732527d-bb5c-4e4e-ba1c-f1c748356ab5.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/5580_Egg-chair-720x540-2732527d-bb5c-4e4e-ba1c-f1c748356ab5.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/5580_Egg-chair-720x540-2732527d-bb5c-4e4e-ba1c-f1c748356ab5-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>One thing that hasn\u2019t changed at all during the passing years? Longevity. David concludes: \u201cAs coveted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/furniture.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">furniture<\/a> icons stand the test of time, transcending not only evolving trends and wider societal influences, but also changes in the demands placed on our interiors, the nation\u2019s respect for quality craftsmanship and unique design is clear.\u201d Good news for customers of Heal\u2019s, then, as we were one of the first to bring design classics and future heirlooms to British customers. For David, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/brand\/anglepoise.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Anglepoise<\/a> lamp by George Carwardwine represents the \u201cepitome of elegant yet functional design\u201d and remains \u201cthe UK\u2019s most recognisable product for the home\u201d, while the 1958 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/egg-chair-grace-leather-walnut.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Egg chair<\/a> by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/designer\/arne-jacobsen.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Arne Jacobsen<\/a> is still \u201cthe nation\u2019s most sought-after piece\u201d with \u201ca shape so iconic and likeable it would sit proud in most homes across the country.\u201d<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Anglepoise_Willow-Road_web-13-540x720-4bb611a5-d9a7-4128-a644-47e6dc8049c5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"540\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Anglepoise_Willow-Road_web-13-540x720-4bb611a5-d9a7-4128-a644-47e6dc8049c5.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Anglepoise_Willow-Road_web-13-540x720-4bb611a5-d9a7-4128-a644-47e6dc8049c5.jpg 540w, https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Anglepoise_Willow-Road_web-13-540x720-4bb611a5-d9a7-4128-a644-47e6dc8049c5-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>It&#8217;s not the first time Heal\u2019s has invested in customer behaviour. Back in 1960, we were among the only retailers to commission consumer research, and it informed the design of the Fitzroy Robinson extension at our flagship store on Tottenham Court Road \u2013 from the clever use of lighting to highlight collections to greater space for leisurely browsing and a permanent display of no less than 11 kitchens. More than 40 years after vacating the Mid-Century space, we\u2019ve just reclaimed it as part of our all-new extension, increasing our footprint to 49,000-square-foot across two floors.
