Price History
Description
Arturo Alarez focused on emotion, functionality and artisanal craftsmanship in the design of the Fluo. Handcrafted in Spain, the statement-making pendant is constructed of intricate veils of painted steel mesh that gather gracefully around a single light point to give the illusion of a lightweight tulle-fabric. Demonstrating the extreme malleability of the material, this piece plays with light volumes and intensity to softly reveal and conceal light.
Our Stylist Says
I love this pendant for its sculptural and airy design, which adds an unexpected centrepiece to both modern and eclectic interiors. Its light and delicate form makes it perfect for spaces like living rooms or dining areas where you want a statement light that doesn’t overpower. It works well in spaces with a neutral colour palette to add a touch of softness, but can also complement bold, colourful settings by providing a visual lightness. For styling tips, hang it at a height that allows its full detail to be appreciated, and consider pairing it with sleek, understated furniture to let the pendant truly stand out. It's a versatile piece that can elevate a variety of contemporary interiors while adding a subtle touch of artistic sophistication.

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.
