Price History
Description
Michael Anastassiades’ touch dimmable Cone String Light was inspired by the cables of electricity that stretch between pylons. The light’s cable is reinforced with Kevlar for extra strength and is 12 metres long so you can get creative with your lighting design. Each one is crafted in Italy using aluminium with an opal polycarbonate diffuser and eco-friendly integrated LEDs, dimmable via a touch switch on the cable. With infinite design possibilities, the String Light will help you create a truly unique lighting display.
Our Stylist Says
I love this pendant for its minimalist, modern appeal and versatile design. The matt black finish offers a sleek, understated look that works particularly well in contemporary and industrial interiors, but it can also create a striking contrast in more eclectic spaces. It’s perfect for adding focused lighting over dining tables, kitchens, or even in a relaxed lounge setting. Practical styling tips include pairing it with other matte black or metallic accents for a cohesive look, or hanging it alone for a clean, uncluttered aesthetic. Its touch dimming feature makes it easy to adjust the ambiance effortlessly, adding functionality while maintaining a stylish 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.
