Price History
Description
Inspired by her drawings, Ana Kraš' Bonbon Lamp Shades are hand-woven using an original technique to create textured, one-of-a-kind pieces that can stand on their own as powerful decorative objects even when off. In Ana's lampshade collaboration with HAY, every shade is hand woven with nylon-wool yarn around a powder-coated steel frame, resulting in individual lampshades that vary slightly in their appearance and surface aesthetic. The cord sets for the shades are sold separately and are available in two designs – a table variant with an in-line rocker switch, and a pendant variant for the ceiling. Both variants can be used with the different lampshade sizes.
Our Stylist Says
I love how the Bonbon shade in blue tones offers a subtle nod to coloured glass or ceramic hues, making it a versatile piece for various interiors. It works particularly well in contemporary spaces that lean towards colour accents or in coastal and Scandinavian-inspired schemes where softer blues add a calming, yet stylish touch. Practical styling tips include pairing it with neutral or light-coloured furnishings to let the shade stand out, and using it on side tables or bedside tables for cosy, ambient lighting. Its shape and colour make it an excellent focal point without overpowering a room, making it suitable for both living and bedroom settings.

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.
