Our Stylist Says
I love the Olson globe pendant for its contemporary yet timeless appeal. Its smoked glass finish adds a touch of subtle sophistication, making it versatile enough to suit both modern and industrial interiors. It works particularly well in open-plan living spaces, kitchens, or even bedrooms where you want a statement piece that doesn’t overpower. Practical styling tips include hanging it at varying heights over a dining table or kitchen island to create visual interest. Pair it with other matte or metallic accents for a cohesive look, and consider using dimmable bulbs to adjust the ambiance easily. Overall, it’s a stylish and functional lighting choice that elevates the entire room.

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.
