Price History
Description
A beautiful balance of both form and finish, the IC F2’s slender silhouette gracefully defies gravity. Characterised by his use of opulent lustred metal and glass, for this seemingly delicate piece designer Michael Anastassiades was inspired by the impressive acrobatics of street performers, distilling their skill and movement into a sculptural floor light.
Our Stylist Says
The Flos IC F2 floor lamp in black is a sleek, minimalist piece that works well in contemporary or modern interiors. I love how its clean lines and understated form add a touch of sophistication without overpowering a space. It’s perfect for corner lighting in living rooms or bedrooms, especially when paired with neutral or monochrome palettes where it can stand out as a statement piece. Practical styling tips include placing it beside a reading chair or sofa to maximise its functional appeal, and combining it with other matte black or brass accessories for a cohesive look. Its subtle elegance makes it versatile enough to complement a range of schemes while adding a modern edge.

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.
