Price History
Description
What defines our attraction to shapes? With the Ambit Pendant Lamp, Muuto wanted to explore form and proportions in a thorough and meticulous way. We discovered a unique dynamic between linear and rounded shapes that gives the lamp its unique outline, making the Ambit Pendant Lamp a timeless design that you’ll never grow tired of while its hand spun aluminium material and contrasting white inner makes for an elegant touch. Hand-painted aluminium lamp shade and rubber cord. Made from old brazier traditions, the lamp shade is press spun and polished and painted by hand. Designed by TAF Studio for Muuto.
Our Stylist Says
I love this pendant for its sleek, modern silhouette and versatile size, making it a great option for a variety of spaces. It works particularly well in contemporary interiors or minimalist schemes, offering both style and function without overwhelming the aesthetic. Practically, it’s ideal above dining tables or kitchen islands, providing focused lighting while adding a subtle sculptural element. For styling tips, consider pairing it with exposed filament bulbs for a warm, approachable feel, or grouping a few at different heights for a more dynamic look in open-plan areas. Its clean white finish also means it pairs effortlessly with colour-rich and neutral palettes alike, making it a flexible choice for many interiors.

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.
