Price History
Description
With its playful expression, sinuous organic form and juxtaposition of natural materials, the Timberline Floor Lamp makes for a head-turning sculptural feature in any room of the house. Designed in the 1970s by Mads Caprani, it was visually distinct amongst its peers, and swiftly became an international sensation. The carefully considered design, such as the inset cord and adjustable direction shade, show Caprani's attention to quality and detail.
Our Stylist Says
I love the Timberline’s sculptural shape and minimalist elegance, making it a versatile choice for a range of interiors. It works particularly well in contemporary or Scandinavian-inspired spaces, where clean lines and natural materials are focal points. To style it effectively, place it beside a cosy armchair or reading nook to create a warm, inviting atmosphere, and consider pairing it with soft textiles or a textured rug to soften its sleek silhouette. Its understated yet striking design makes it a statement piece that complements both neutral colour schemes and more vibrant palettes, adding a touch of sophistication 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.
