Price History
Description
Designer Mario Bellini conceived Chiara in the late sixties. Constructed from a single sheet of laser-cut steel, his classic design has been reissued by Flos for 2020 in the form of this aluminium table lamp. Cut and rolled into a self-supporting stem, the lamp is topped with a pair of sculpted 'wings' that reflect and diffuse a hidden light source. Said to resemble a nun's wimple and veil, this newer table model comes in three finishes ' polished aluminium, dark grey and pink gold.
Our Stylist Says
I love the Flos Chiara table lamp for its sleek, contemporary profile and sophisticated finish. Its polished anodized dark grey creates a versatile and modern look, making it a great addition to minimalist or industrial interiors, while also adding a subtle hint of luxury. It works particularly well on side tables, desks, or bedside tables, where its sculptural form can be showcased. To style it effectively, pair it with neutral tones or jet-black accents to emphasize its modern design, or combine it with warm textured materials for a softer, eclectic vibe. Its refined aesthetic makes it a practical yet stylish choice for both residential and office settings.

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.
