Price History
Description
Designed in 1968, the Flowerpot lamp is a testament to the enduring influence and spirit of Verner Panton's exuberant design rhetoric. Available in a range of sizes, colours, and finishes, the Flowerpot embodies the essence of playful versatility. The lamp follows a straightforward yet revolutionary structure, made up of two clean and simple hemispheres facing each other, diffusing a gentle, glare-free light. The body is built out of shiny enamel and is produced in a series of bright, vibrant colours, each vivid finish selected to leave a lasting impression wherever placed. The VP1 is the perfect size to suspend above a dining table, kitchen island or to add ambient light to a living room.
Our Stylist Says
I love the Flowerpot Pendant Light in dark plum for its bold yet versatile silhouette. It works particularly well in contemporary or eclectic interiors, adding a pop of colour and visual interest without overwhelming the space. This pendant is great styled in a minimalist kitchen or dining area, where its colour can stand out against neutral cabinetry or walls. Practical tips include pairing it with warm LED bulbs to enhance its rich hue, and hanging it at varying heights if grouping with other pendants for a dynamic look. Its sleek, rounded shape also lends itself nicely to more playful, modern schemes or even retro-inspired 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.
