Price History
Description
Fusing the worlds of art and tech, the Makiko Flush Surface Light is a new addition to the existing collection of wire-framed lights, and famously casts shadows across surfaces. Inspired by Japanese design and meticulously hand-woven, no two are ever exactly the same, and this iteration sits flush against the ceiling.
Our Stylist Says
I love this pendant because of its natural bamboo design, which adds a warm, textured element to a space. It works particularly well in light, airy interiors, such as Scandi-inspired schemes or boho-style rooms, where its organic feel complements wooden furniture and soft textiles. For practical styling, consider installing it over dining tables or in living areas to create a relaxed, inviting atmosphere. Pair with minimalist or neutral-toned decor to let the bamboo detailing stand out, or contrast with darker walls for a striking focal point. Keep in mind that its open weave design provides good overall light distribution, making it both functional and stylish in various contemporary and casual 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.
