Evoking classic 1960s glassware, the Grace pendant radiates the suave, sophisticated style of the era. The sultry tone of coloured glass sets the mood, not only providing a warm glow but gleaming light from its polished curves
Our Stylist Says
The Grace pendant in smoke black is a great choice for adding a contemporary touch to a variety of interiors. Its large size and muted tone make it versatile, working particularly well in modern or industrial schemes, but it can also add a stylish edge to more eclectic rooms. I love pairing it with minimalist furniture for a sleek, uncluttered feel, or in a living space where you want to introduce a statement lighting piece. Practical tips include hanging it at different heights to create visual interest or grouping several in varying sizes for a striking effect. Its warm glow paired with the smoky glass finish brings a sophisticated ambient light that's both functional and decorative.

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.
