Price History
Description
Renowned, Stockholm-based TAF Architects have created an interpretation of a quintessential billiard table lamp, constructed out of three shades mounted onto a tube. This leaves a minimal yet striking impression which compliments a diverse set of surroundings.
Our Stylist Says
The Muuto Ambit Rail in grey is a sleek and versatile lighting choice that adds a modern touch to various interiors. I love its minimalist design and the way it can serve as both a statement piece and a functional light source. It works particularly well in contemporary, Scandi-inspired spaces, kitchens, or open-plan living areas where clean lines are a key feature. For styling, consider using the rail to highlight specific zones, such as a dining area or workspace, by adjusting the direction of the spotlights. Pairing it with warm bulbs can soften its cool tone and create a cosy ambience, while keeping the grey finish neutral allows it to seamlessly blend with different colour palettes and textures.

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.
