Price History
Description
Defined by its delicate angular form, the Basalt Nine combines nine irregular hexagonal pendants with nine mouth-blown borosilicate glass bulbs to create an extraordinary ceiling light fixture. Designed to mimic the natural processes that inspired it, this striking piece draws its inspiration from the extruded basalt columns that make up the Giant Causeway in Northern Ireland. Fusing robust materials with dimmable LED technology, the Basalt Nine offers ambient lighting that enhances the feel of any space.
Our Stylist Says
I love the Tala Basalt Nine Pendant for its modern yet understated elegance, making it a versatile choice for a range of interiors. Its warm brass finish adds a touch of luxe, while the elongated pendant arrangement creates an eye-catching focal point. This light works particularly well in contemporary or minimalist spaces, but can also elevate more traditional or industrial looks when paired with contrasting textures. Practical styling tips include hanging it above a dining table or in a tall stairwell to emphasise its verticality. Keep the surrounding decor simple to let the pendant shine, and consider warm LED bulbs to complement the brass tone and create a cosy ambiance.

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.
