Price History
Description
First designed in 1968, Verner Panton’s Flowerpot lamp is an enduring classic: a playful yet minimal product that remains among the most iconic works of postwar Danish design and originates from the desire to craft pieces that trigger feelings rather than serve as mere functional objects. The portable VP9 comes equipped with a USB charging cable, bringing a cozy atmosphere to both indoor and outdoor settings.
Our Stylist Says
This little lamp is a clever piece that combines functionality with a clean, contemporary look. I love how the &Tradition flowerpot’s simple, rounded design makes it versatile - it works well in both modern and eclectic interiors. Its portable, LED feature means you can easily move it around, making it perfect for creating cosy atmospheres on side tables, desks, or even in bedrooms. For styling tips, try pairing it with natural materials like wood or brass to add warmth, or let it stand out as a statement piece against a neutral backdrop. It’s a practical addition that can effortlessly elevate the ambience without overwhelming the space.

About Heal's
A Rich Legacy in Furniture Design
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
Influences and Design Philosophy
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
Modern Expansion and Growth
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
