Price History
Description
Cloud is a sculptural tall vessel made of highly reflective polished aluminium. Handmade in India by skilled artisans, each vessel has unique qualities with every hammer and indentation from stretching and warping the metal being preserved, reflecting the amount of work that’s gone into the design. This watertight silver vessel can be used as a vase and has a shape reminiscent of seedpods. Whilst pitting and welds will be controlled with set tolerances, they will never be completely invisible. These are the unique marks of the skilled hand makers and are a celebration of the craft. The vessel is water tight and can be used for floral arrangements, and is also dry-food safe.
Our Stylist Says
I love the Tom Dixon Cloud vessel tall for its bold, sculptural presence and contemporary finish. Its reflective, metallic surface makes it a versatile statement piece that works well in modern or industrial interiors, adding a touch of sophistication. When styling, I recommend pairing it with sparse floral arrangements or greenery to highlight its shape without competing with the reflection. It also performs well as a standalone sculptural object on shelves or sideboards, especially in minimalist settings. Keep in mind, it’s quite a visual piece, so balanced placement and simple surrounding decor will allow it to shine without overpowering 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.
