Description
Blending mid-century styling with functionality, the Milton Task Table and Floor Lamp Range are compact enough to sit within any modern interior. The Milton range is designed in Banbury, and crafted from sturdy powder coated or plated steel which is hand-painted to an antique brass finish becoming a solid design statement. The floor lamp is adjustable via a handle, allowing the user to direct the light perfectly over a sofa, or armchair when reading, or left to illuminate a room when at full height.
Our Stylist Says
I love this floor lamp for its sleek, contemporary design and its versatile black finish, making it a great addition to both modern and minimal interiors. It works particularly well in living rooms or home offices where you want a statement piece that also provides functional lighting. To style it effectively, consider pairing it with muted or neutral furniture to let it stand out, or against rich textures like velvet or leather for a sophisticated look. Practical tips include placing it beside a reading chair or sofa for task lighting, and ensuring the adjustable arm is utilised to direct light where needed. Its understated yet elegant design makes it a flexible piece that can anchor a variety of interior styles effortlessly.

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.
