Price History
Description
Individually handmade and finished at his woodland workshop in Cornwall, Tom Raffield’s Skipper Pendant is reminiscent of the traditional woven Cornish baskets from which it draws its inspiration. Available in sustainably sourced oak, Tom uses the traditional craft of steam bending to create this exclusive design with each piece a one-off. Complete with light fitting and ceiling rose. Handmade within Tom’s studio in Cornwall. Laser cut woods traditionally steam bent and woven.
Our Stylist Says
I love the Skipper flush in oak for its modern yet warm aesthetic; it strikes a balance between contemporary design and natural materials. Its sculptural form works beautifully in both minimalist and Scandinavian-inspired interiors, adding interest without overpowering the space. I’d recommend using it in rooms with a neutral or earthy colour palette, where the oak finish can naturally complement other wood tones or textiles. For practical styling, hang it in living rooms or hallways with understated furniture to let its design be a subtle statement piece, and consider pairing it with warm LED bulbs to enhance its cosy glow. It’s versatile enough to work in both residential and commercial spaces where you want a functional light fixture with a touch of designer flair.

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.
