Price History
Description
The Silkeborg Pendant reimagines a mid-century saucer silhouette in a contemporary style. Hand-stitched in semi-sheer fabric, the pendant appears softly opaque when unlit, revealing a warm glow and showcasing your chosen bulb when illuminated. Its gently undulating frame lends modern elegance and fluidity, creating a versatile statement piece that feels both timeless and inviting.
Our Stylist Says
I love the Silkeborg pendant for its understated elegance and soft silhouette that adds a touch of sophistication without overwhelming a space. It works particularly well in contemporary and Scandi-inspired interiors thanks to its clean lines and neutral tone. For practical styling, I recommend hanging it over dining tables or kitchen islands where its diffused light will create a warm, inviting atmosphere. Pair it with minimalist decor to let the design speak, or mix with natural textures like wood and linen for a relaxed, cohesive look. Its simplicity makes it versatile enough to sit comfortably in both everyday and more curated 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.
