Price History
Description
An icon of Italian design, the Tolomeo Maxi Floor Lamp is the result of Michele De Lucchi and Giancarlo Fassina’s creative vision, launched in 1987. It achieves a perfect balance of functionality and aesthetics, with a clean, minimalist design and a lightweight yet robust aluminium structure. Its articulated arm system, featuring an innovative spring mechanism, allows easy height and tilt adjustments for exceptional flexibility.
Our Stylist Says
I love this floor lamp for its sleek, industrial aesthetic and functional versatility. The maxi size makes it a statement piece, ideal for modern or contemporary interiors, particularly in living rooms or home offices where task lighting is essential. Its aluminium finish and adjustable arm offer a clean, minimalist look that complements both neutral palettes and bold, eclectic spaces. Styling tips include placing it beside a cosy armchair or sofa for reading comfort, or using it to highlight art or architectural features. To keep the look balanced, pair it with other metallic accessories or simple, textured textiles to emphasise its streamlined silhouette 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.
