Description
Nicknamed ‘Hand Grenade’ for its distinctive shape, Alvar Aalto originally designed the A110 Pendant Light for the Finnish Engineers’ Association building in 1952. Casting both direct and indirect light onto ceilings, the pendant is ideal for creating a warm ambience. Plus, its perforated inner ring creates a crown-like effect.
Our Stylist Says
I love the Artek A110 Hand Grenade Pendant for its bold, sculptural silhouette that adds a contemporary edge to any space. Its clean, white finish makes it a versatile piece that works well in modern kitchen islands, minimalist dining rooms, or even in more eclectic interiors where you want a statement light. Practical tips include hanging it at varying heights in a cluster for a dynamic look or using it alone in a high-ceilinged room to create prompt visual impact. It's a great choice for those seeking a design-led lighting solution that balances functionality with a touch of playful geometry.

About Heal's
Explore from Heal's. Founded in 1810, Heal's are an iconic brand with a history of innovation, and are synonymous with timeless elegance and exceptional 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.
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.
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.
