Flos Seki-Han Pendant Light

Price History
Description
Designed by Tobia Scarpa in 1963 and reissued in 2025, Seki-Han is a testament to his mastery of design and wood-working expertise. The intricate construction draws on naval techniques to shape two wooden blades that rotate around the light source, leaving a slender sliver of light visible at all times for a highly poetic effect. The re-edition also introduces this elegant suspension model, identical in design but with a slightly shorter body. In both versions, Seki-Han is a living presence where the immateriality of light meets the tactility of wood.
Our Stylist Says
I love the Flos Seki-Han pendant because of its sleek, minimalist design and warm, natural wood finish, which brings a touch of understated elegance to any space. It works particularly well in contemporary or Scandi-inspired interiors, adding a subtle yet striking focal point without overwhelming the room. For practical styling tips, hang it over dining tables, kitchen islands, or even in a bedroom to create a cosy, inviting atmosphere. Pairing it with simple, neutral surroundings will allow the pendant’s craftsmanship and natural material to shine, making it a versatile choice for both modern and more classic 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.
