Price History
Description
Arturo Alvarez’s Virginia Floor Lamp is named in honour of Virginia Woolf, the British writer and prominent feminist. This sculptural lamp is crafted using stainless-steel mesh which, combined with the chrome base, adds a modern touch to the minimalist design.
Our Stylist Says
I love the Virginia floor lamp for its sleek, minimalist design and subtle elegance. It works particularly well in contemporary or Scandi-inspired interiors where clean lines and soft lighting are key. It's versatile enough to stand confidently in living rooms, bedrooms, or even cosy reading nooks. When styling, consider pairing it with neutral furnishings and textured accessories to create a calming ambience. Practical tips include placing it beside a sofa or armchair to provide functional task lighting, or using its gentle glow to warm up a modern space. Its understated design means it complements a variety of colour schemes and furniture styles, making it a stylish yet practical choice for many interiors.

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.
