Description
The woven form of the Skipper is created by hand, meaning that each pendant is as unique as the piece of wood from which it is made. Timber is sourced from sustainably managed woodlands wherever possible with steam bending the main form of production - a low energy method of manufacturing that produces little wastage and uses of toxic or harmful chemicals. Each pendant is exclusive to Heal's and comes complete with light fitting, cord and ceiling rose.
Our Stylist Says
I love the Skipper pendant for its contemporary yet natural aesthetic, thanks to the warm oak finish and sculptural design. It works particularly well in modern interiors that embrace natural materials, like Scandi or minimalist schemes, but can also add warmth to eclectic or boho spaces. Practical styling tips include hanging it above a kitchen island or dining table to create a statement focal point, ensuring the height leaves enough clearance for comfort. Pair with other wooden accents or neutral tones to maintain a cohesive look, and consider using dimmable bulbs to adapt its mood for different occasions. Its playful form adds a touch of personality while maintaining a sophisticated edge.

Explore from Heal's. Founded in 1810, Heal's are an iconic brand with a history of innovation, and are synonymous with timeless elegance and exceptional 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.
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.
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.
