Price History
Description
An extension of the Alumina Lamp series this pendants celebrate the theories and concepts of Bauhaus, drawing particular inspiration from the White City in Tel Aviv. The pendant references closely the classic curved design and white surface finish of the architecture. Designed to showcase the form of the Sphere V (XL) bulb and its in-built Dim to Warm technology, the series returns to the simple, purposeful forms of Bauhaus. The lightweight cast aluminium body is ideal for creating the balanced form suitable for powder coating. Complimented by the grey and white speckled braided cord, the colourway brings a lightness to the suspended floating orb.
Our Stylist Says
This pendant light is a modern staple that works particularly well in both contemporary and minimalist interiors, thanks to its sleek alumina finish and simple shape. I love its understated elegance - it provides a soft, warm glow that can enhance everything from kitchen islands to dining areas. Practical styling tips include pairing it with a high-gloss or matte surface for contrast or hanging multiple units at different heights for visual interest in larger spaces. It’s versatile enough to work in bedrooms, living rooms, or hallways, and because of its uncomplicated design, it won’t overpower other décor - making it an adaptable piece for various schemes.

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.
