Tom Dixon Flash Square Coffee Table Black - Heal's UK Furniture

Price History
Description
Perfect as both a coffee or side table, the Flash has a modern profile of circular base, slender stem and wide top. While the gleaming brass frame has a slightly brushed look, the bronzed glass top is highly polished to produce elegant reflections. Each piece in the Flash range is designed to neatly sit alongside one another, with the round, rectangular and square variations set at varying heights to create unique configurations.
Our Stylist Says
I’m a big fan of the Flash coffee table for its sleek, low-profile silhouette and the way the smoked glass top and brass stem catch the light without feeling fussy. It sits equally well in a pared-back, Scandi-inspired living room or a more dramatic, dark-walled scheme, providing just enough shine to lift the rest of the layers. Styling is straightforward: keep accessories minimal - a couple of art books, a sculptural bowl or low vase - and play on contrasts by pairing the table with a textured rug or velvet armchair. Its modest height also makes it ideal for creating informal seating zones, so don’t hesitate to group two or three together for added impact.

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.
