Description
Greta M. Grossman’s mid-century Cobra Floor Lamp is crafted today by prestigious manufacturer Gubi. Inspired by the shape of a cobra’s neck, the lamp’s shade can be bent in all directions thanks to the flexible arm. This makes it perfect for reading or illuminating bedside tables. Upon its release in 1950, the Cobra Table Lamp was awarded the Good Design Award and was subsequently exhibited at the Good Design Show at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
Our Stylist Says
I love this little Cobra desk lamp for its bold, retro feel and sleek design. The vintage red finish adds a vibrant pop of colour that works particularly well in eclectic, modern, or mid-century inspired interiors. It’s versatile enough to sit on a desk, bedside table, or even a statement shelf. For practical styling, consider pairing it with other brass or matte accents to enhance its vintage charm, and keep the surrounding space uncluttered to let its sculptural form really stand out. It’s a great functional piece that can add personality and colour without overwhelming a space.

About Heal's
Explore from Heal's. Founded in 1810, Heal's are an iconic brand with a history of innovation, and are synonymous with timeless elegance and exceptional 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.
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.
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.
