Description
The Gyro Crystal chandelier is inspired by nineteenth century experimental physicist Leon Foucault’s Gyroscope: a device used for measuring orientation. The gyroscope has been reinterpreted into a framework of aged metal spheres fixed around a crystal chandelier nucleus, boldly contrasting the masculine industrial look of the scientific instrument with the more feminine romantic look of the precision cut glass.
Our Stylist Says
I love the eye-catching design of the Gyro chandelier-it’s a striking piece that blends modernity with a touch of vintage glamour. Its crystal and metal frame make it versatile, working particularly well in contemporary, industrial, or eclectic interiors. For styling, I recommend hanging it in a space with neutral tones to let it stand out or pairing it with warm metallic accessories for a cohesive look. Practical tips include placing it in a dining area or above a statement coffee table where its reflective qualities enhance ambient light. It’s ideal for making a bold design statement without overwhelming the space.

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.
