Description
Designed by Ana Kraš for HAY, the Ava Square Wall Lamp combines an archetypal lamp shape with a bold, graphic design, creating a contemporary take on a classic lamp. Crafted from ECOPET™ derived from recycled PET plastic, the semi-translucent shade features a paper-like quality that is offset by contrasting fabric piping. Ava’s simple yet striking visual presence and soft, ambient glow allow it to integrate seamlessly into numerous home spaces.
Our Stylist Says
I love this wall lamp for its sleek, minimalist design that works well in a variety of interiors, from contemporary to Scandi-inspired schemes. Its clean lines and understated profile make it a versatile choice, especially in spaces where you want to add focused task lighting without cluttering the walls. It’s particularly effective in bedrooms, reading corners, or beside a mirror where subtle lighting is key. Practical styling tips include mounting it at eye level beside seating or beds, and pairing it with neutral or matte finishes for a cohesive look. Its adjustable feature also allows for flexible lighting angles, making it both functional and stylish for modern living spaces.

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.
