Price History
Description
The Wheal Floor Light is a beautifully simple lamp made up of one sole piece of steam-bent oak wood. A length of twisted, braided flex has been threaded up and over the arm from which a simple bare bulb hangs from. The acute bend in the stem helps to position the light at just the right height for reading or illuminating specific spaces in your home.
Our Stylist Says
The Wheal Floor Light offers a sleek, minimalist aesthetic that works well in contemporary or Scandi-inspired interiors. I love how its natural wood finish adds warmth and texture, making it versatile enough to suit both living rooms and bedrooms. Practical styling tips include pairing it with neutral textiles or layered lighting setups to create a cosy atmosphere, or placing it next to a reading chair for functional charm. Its understated design means it doesn't overpower other decorative elements, making it a smart choice for adding soft, ambient light 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.
