Price History
Description
Designed by Ferruccio Laviani, the FLY pendant has assumed the status of a 21st century design classic. Available in a range of colourful translucent tones that work beautifully in clusters, this simple, dome shaped shade embodies the off-the-wall style and forward thinking of modern Italian design.
Our Stylist Says
I love the FLY in light blue; it’s a playful yet sophisticated piece that adds a pop of colour without overwhelming a space. Its transparent glass design makes it versatile, working particularly well in modern or minimalist interiors, but it can also soften a more industrial look. For styling tips, consider hanging it at different heights above a kitchen island or dining table to create visual interest, or group a few in varying colours for a playful cluster. Its soft hue lends itself beautifully to nurseries, children’s bedrooms, or relaxed living rooms where a touch of colour and modern flair are desired. Keep the wiring minimal and opt for warm LED bulbs to enhance its transparency and colour effect.

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.
