Price History
Description
Bringing the softness of a paper lantern into a portable design, the Carta Portable Lamp creates a warm, ambient glow wherever you place it. A simple wooden base adds natural contrast and houses an easy touch-dimming function, while the carry handle makes it effortless to move from room to room. Ideal for neutral, calming interiors, it’s perfect on a bedside table, shelf or sideboard.
Our Stylist Says
I really like this lamp for its versatility and modern charm. Its portable design makes it ideal for both workspaces and cosy corners, especially in living rooms or bedrooms where soft, ambient lighting enhances the atmosphere. The paper shade adds a subtle, diffused glow that works well in contemporary or Scandi-inspired interiors, while its wooden base introduces a natural warmth that can also complement rustic or minimal styles. A handy styling tip is to use it as an bedside or desk light, pairing it with textured textiles or plants for an inviting, layered look. Its portability also means you can move it easily around the home to create light where you need it most.

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.
