Price History
Description
Tasked by Foscarini to reinterpret classic lampshade-lamps, Ludovica and Roberto Palomba designed the contemporary Birdie Floor Lamp. The shade is crafted using metallized polycarbonate, a twist on more commonly used fabric. The touch-dimmer switch is designed to look like a branch that a bird may roost on, giving the light its name.
Our Stylist Says
The Birdie floor lamp is a sleek and contemporary piece that works beautifully in minimalist or Scandinavian-inspired interiors. I love how its unique combination of a classic tripod base with a playful shade adds visual interest without overwhelming the space. It’s perfect for cozy reading corners or as an accent piece in living rooms, bringing subtle mid-century charm while maintaining a modern edge. For styling, consider pairing it with simple, understated furniture and layered lighting for a balanced, inviting atmosphere. Its neutral palette ensures it integrates seamlessly into various colour schemes, making it a versatile choice for both residential and commercial 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.
