Description
The Semi Pendant is a unique pendant lamp, based on two quarter-circles put together, back-to-back. Designed in 1968 as a product of the creative partnership between Claus Bonderup and Torsten Thorup, the Semi pendants' distinctive arch-shape and enamelled metal shade creates a diffused, cone-shaped light, ideal for over a dining table or kitchen work surface. With its lightness of form, unique timeless design and range of colours and sizes, the Semi Pendant is extremely versatile and well suited to both private and public spaces.
Our Stylist Says
I love this pendant for its sleek, modern silhouette and versatile colour. The glossy anthracite grey finish lends it a sophisticated edge, making it perfect for contemporary and minimalist interiors. It works well in kitchens over islands, dining areas, or even in living rooms where a sculptural statement piece is desired. For practical styling, pairing it with similarly toned or contrasting light fixtures can enhance its impact - think matte metals or soft whites for balance. Its clean design also lends itself easily to layered lighting schemes, providing both ambience and focused task lighting. Overall, it’s a well-considered piece that combines form and function seamlessly.

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.
