Price History
Description
Block Design’s candleholder brings a playful sense of colour and form to the table. Handcrafted from borosilicate glass, its clean, geometric silhouette is defined by contrasting tones that shift subtly in the light. Designed to hold a standard taper candle securely, it adds warmth and atmosphere while doubling as a sculptural object. A considered piece that balances function with a touch of whimsy.
Our Stylist Says
I love how this candleholder brings a contemporary feel with its sleek, minimalist design and striking colour palette. It works particularly well in modern or eclectic interiors, adding a pop of colour and visual interest without overwhelming the space. For styling tips, consider placing it on a neutral surface like a wooden side table or a glass shelf to let its colours stand out. Pair with candles in similar tones or subtly contrasting hues for eye-catching displays. Its clean lines make it versatile for both everyday use and special occasions, and it’s practical enough to serve as a statement piece on dining tables, mantels, or consoles.

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.
