Price History
Description
Abundant with material and atmospheric references from the So Ho location of the Howard Hotel, for which they were originally designed, they exude a warm, tactile feel. The four slender, ‘octopus arms’ provide a modern and sophisticated shape, while the bone china shades provide soft, glowing ambient light. The carefully crafted Howard Chandelier is the centrepiece of the Howard Collection which can be combined to create a highly coherent atmosphere in the home, hotel or boardroom.
Our Stylist Says
I really like this Gubi Howard Chandelier - it’s a versatile piece that can elevate both contemporary and traditional interiors. The bone china shades add a subtle touch of elegance and actually diffuse light softly, making it ideal for dining rooms, kitchens, or cosy living spaces. Its shorter arm design works well in rooms with lower ceilings or where a more understated chandelier is preferred. Practically, I’d suggest pairing it with warm-toned bulbs to emphasise the warmth of the china shades, and hanging it over a dining table or in a breakfast nook to create a stylish focal point. Keep the surrounding decor minimal to let the craftsmanship of the chandelier shine through, or complement it with other vintage-inspired or brass accents for a cohesive look.

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.
