Description
Designed in 2004 by legendary British designer Sir Kenneth Grange, the Type 75 Desk Lamp is a modern take on the Apex 90 first launched by Anglepoise in the 1950's. This special collaboration is informed by the brands colourful mid-century lighting with the Yellow Ochre based on a vintage lamp salvaged by Margaret Howell. At the core of the design sits Anglepoise's trademark constant-tension springs, enabling the shade to pivot light in any direction using a smooth gliding motion that can be repositioned with the slightest of touches. While the profile of the lamps slender aluminium arms hails directly from its articulated design, the contemporary shaped shade and low, conical base only adds to the timeless look of the Type 75.

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.
