Description
The Type 80 Pendant Light is a new addition to Anglepoise’s portfolio, designed by British designer Sir Kenneth Grange in his 90th year. From its clean-lined ceiling rose to the shade’s halo light-escape feature, every detail of the Type 80 has been meticulously finessed. Select from four sophisticated, ultra-matte colourways - Rose Pink, Pistachio, Grey Mist and Matte Black.
Our Stylist Says
I love the Anglepoise Type 80 in matte black for its sleek, modern silhouette that effortlessly elevates both contemporary and minimalist interiors. It works particularly well in kitchens, dining areas, or home offices where clean lines and functional lighting are key. The pendant’s adjustable design allows for flexible positioning, making it practical for task lighting or creating emphasised points in a room. For styling tips, consider pairing it with understated furniture and neutral palettes to accentuate its sophisticated form, or group multiple pendants for a bold, architectural statement. Its matte black finish lends it versatility, blending seamlessly in industrial, Scandi, or even eclectic spaces.

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.
