Price History
Description
The Manhattan Floor Lamp brings a contemporary edge to traditional lighting. A black fabric shade is suspended from a coordinating black metal frame to create ambient lighting for living and dining areas. Although it’s simple in form, the expert craftsmanship and metal touches lends the design presence and complete its sophisticated aesthetic.
Our Stylist Says
I love the sleek and understated design of the Heal's Manhattan lamp - the matte black finish and minimalist silhouette make it versatile for a range of interiors. It works particularly well in contemporary spaces or pared-back, industrial-inspired schemes, where its clean lines add a touch of sophistication. Practical styling tip: position it next to a reading nook or a modern sofa to create an inviting, functional corner. Its slender profile means it won’t dominate a room, making it ideal for smaller spaces or as a statement piece in a larger, open-plan room. Overall, a great choice for adding task lighting without sacrificing style.

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.
