Price History
Description
The 9464 Wall Lamp, designed in the early 1950s by Paavo Tynell, is a great example of how the Finnish designer elevated illumination into an art form. The clean, sculptured brass shade lends an air of elegance with Tynell’s distinctive traits of twin dot perforation pattern combined with notched edges, making the wall lamp appealing and admirable in all its simplicity.
Our Stylist Says
I love this wall light for its sleek, modern design and polished brass finish, which adds a touch of luxe without being overly ornate. It works particularly well in contemporary or minimalist interiors, where its reflective surface can enhance the sense of brightness and space. For practical styling, consider placing it in bedrooms, living rooms, or hallways where focused task or ambient lighting is needed. It pairs beautifully with neutral palettes or contrasting textures, like matte walls or soft fabrics, to really let the brass shine. For a refined look, hang it in multiples or offset it with understated décor to highlight its elegant form without overwhelming the space.

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.
