Price History
Description
Drawing inspiration from elegant columns found on classical buildings, the large Doric Table Lamp was designed exclusively for Heal’s with a modern twist. The lamp features a concrete base, with a white opal glass diffuser secured in the centre. The large lamp casts a beautifully diffused light to create a warm atmosphere.
Our Stylist Says
I love this lamp for its striking combination of materials-opcal glass and concrete-giving it a contemporary yet tactile appeal. It works especially well in modern industrial or minimalist interiors, where its sculptural form can stand out as a statement piece. To style it effectively, consider pairing it with other neutral-toned accessories and geometric shapes for a cohesive look. It’s perfect as a bedside or accent lamp, providing diffused light that adds warmth to a space without overpowering it. Its substantial base offers stability, making it suitable for desktops or side tables, while the large scale helps it serve as both a functional light source and a decorative object.

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.
