Price History
Description
A modern assemblage of right angles, the Lucent coffee table is made from translucent glass panels and is available in a choice of bronze, clear or smoke finish. Designed in London by Matthew Hilton, the base and table top of this airy piece perfectly mirror each other in form with both featuring smooth rounded edges. Geometrically arranged, the glass sheets that support the table top also create practical storage space for books and magazines making this the perfect piece for sleek living spaces.
Our Stylist Says
I’m a fan of the Lucent glass coffee table for its understated, airy look - the smoked finish adds just enough warmth without feeling heavy. It works especially well in contemporary or minimalist living rooms, where you want to keep sightlines clear and let your seating or rug take centre stage. Styling tips: keep the top simple - a small stack of design books, a sculptural bowl or a low vase with foliage. On the lower shelf you can tuck magazines or a neatly folded throw to add texture. Because it’s all glass, avoid overcrowding and choose items with contrasting materials (wood, ceramic or metal) so everything stands out.

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.
