Price History
Description
Handmade exclusively for Heal's, the Hawkins Wooden Tripod Floor Lamp takes its design cues from classic mid-century furniture. Its frame is crafted from solid wood in a warm hue, with slender legs that climb all the way up to the shade to form the tripod base. The natural linen shade creates a soft diffused light that reduces harsh shadows, while the brass tipped feet add a contemporary edge to the design.
Our Stylist Says
I love this tripod floor lamp for its sleek, understated design that adds warmth and character to a variety of interiors. Its walnut finish and wooden tripod base give it a mid-century-modern vibe, making it versatile enough for both contemporary and Scandinavian-style spaces. It works particularly well in living rooms or cosy reading corners, where its warm light creates an inviting atmosphere. For styling, consider pairing it with other natural materials like wool or linen, and keep the surrounding decor simple to let the lamp stand out. Its adjustable height makes it functional as well as stylish, perfect for creating layered lighting in a lounge or open-plan setting.

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.
