Price History
Description
A 21st century classic, the Beat range has become synonymous with contemporary styled spaces. Taking the functional profile of traditional water vessels used throughout the Indian subcontinent, the sculptural simplicity of this modern formed pendant relies on the ancient craft of the regions metal workers.
Our Stylist Says
I love this pendant for its sleek, contemporary design with a touch of industrial edge, thanks to the brushed brass finish paired with matte black. It works particularly well in modern or minimalist interiors, adding warmth and sophistication without overwhelming the space. Practical styling tips include hanging it above dining tables or in multiples over kitchen islands for a layered look, and pairing it with neutral or monochrome colour schemes to let its materiality do the talking. Its clean lines and subtle yet impactful presence make it versatile, suitable for both residential and commercial interiors that embrace pared-back, quality design.

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.
