Heal's Pileo Alta Floor Lamp Walnut & Black
£2,230
Price History
Description
The Pileo modern lamp has been designed for Porada by the Sovrappensiero design studio in order to create a piece of light that evokes the gentleness of the wood. Inspired by nature, Pileo is characterized by the presence of a large tinplated metal lampshade – in pewter grey, white and glossy black finishes – that reminds of the hat of a mushroom. The stem is represented by the thin and sturdy frame, made of Canaletta walnut.
Our Stylist Says
I love this floor lamp for its sleek, modern silhouette combined with warm, natural materials. The walnut finish adds a rich, timeless touch, making it versatile in both contemporary and Scandi-inspired interiors. It works particularly well in living rooms or reading corners where ambient lighting is key, but it also makes a stylish statement in more minimal spaces. For styling tips, try pairing it with soft textiles and neutral tones to accentuate its natural wood and black elements. Telescoping or adjustable features can also offer practical versatility, allowing you to direct light exactly where you need it 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.
