Description
This floor switch is a crucial addition to your Michael Anastassiades String Light if you want to connect it to a plug socket. This minimalist sphere can control two lights, keeping the cables taut like the strings of electricity that inspired the design. You can also conceal up to ten metres of cable inside the switch to keep your room’s design looking refined and minimal. The String Light Floor Switch is crafted in Italy using aluminium and is available in matte black, white and blue hues.
Our Stylist Says
I love this floor lamp for its modern, minimalist design and its versatile blue finish, which adds a subtle pop of colour without overwhelming a space. It works particularly well in contemporary or Scandinavian-style interiors, where clean lines and functional pieces are key. The floor switch adds practical convenience, making it easy to operate in living rooms or bedrooms. For styling tips, pair it with neutral furnishings and textured textiles to let the light and colour stand out, or use it to complement other blue or grey accents for a cohesive look. Its sleek silhouette ensures it fits comfortably in smaller spaces or to add a thoughtful layer of ambient lighting in larger rooms.

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.
