Price History
Description
Melt is evocative of molten glass, the interior of a melting glacier or images of deep space. An imperfect, organic and naturalistic light that produces a mesmerizing hot-blown glass effect. Melt is created through a process of blow moulding and vacuum metallisation to achieve melted orbs with abundant and unusual luminosity. The Melt family includes pendants, chandeliers, pendant systems, portables, surface lights, table lights and floor lights. An object d’art whether illuminated or not. Simply remove the diffuser around the LED module for brighter light. Dimmable technology enables the brightness to be dialled up or down according to the ambience required.
Our Stylist Says
I love this floor lamp for its sculptural presence and modern vibe. The melted bronze finish adds warmth and texture, making it an excellent statement piece in contemporary or eclectic interiors. It works particularly well in minimalist spaces or rooms with brass or darker metallic accents, where it can stand out without overpowering. Practical styling tips include placing it next to a reading chair or sofa for functional illumination, or as a feature lamp in an open-plan living area. Pair it with simple, neutral furnishings to let the lamp be the focus, or complement it with other brass or bronze accessories for a cohesive look. Its distinctive form makes it suitable for both residential and hospitality settings where distinctive lighting is desired.

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.
