Price History
Description
The Hanging Lamp N°2 by Muller Van Severen transforms a simple line into a sculptural lighting statement. Originally conceived when the designers needed a light without a ceiling socket, its slender form extends from the wall like a drawing brought to life. First shown in 2011, the design combines a colourful linear structure with a simple bulb and white lampshade, inspired by one the designers discovered at a flea market, bringing playful geometry and distinctive character to contemporary interiors.
Our Stylist Says
I love the Hanglamp N°2 for its minimalist, industrial charm that adds visual interest without overpowering a space. It works particularly well in modern or contemporary interiors, especially over dining tables or kitchen islands where its slim profile keeps the area feeling open. For styling tips, consider pairing it with vintage Edison bulbs for an extra touch of warmth, or grouping several hung at different heights for a more dynamic look. Its simple silhouette makes it quite versatile - it can also be a subtle statement in a more eclectic setting if you keep other design elements understated. Overall, it’s a clever piece that balances function with understated design flair.

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.
