Price History
Description
The BEAT lamps marked one of our earliest successes, featuring hand-hammered brass and an unexpected blend of craft detailing. Fast forward 20 years, and despite their enduring popularity, they have become one of the most widely imitated products, available in large quantities from online resellers in a thinly and poorly finished alloy. Determined to combat these imitations, we embarked on a novel initiative. Introducing the UNBEATEN, our new version presents two high-quality manufacturing stories.
Our Stylist Says
I really like this pendant light for its sleek modern aesthetic and understated elegance. The aluminium finish gives it a contemporary feel that works well in minimalist or industrial-inspired interiors. It’s versatile enough to be used over dining tables or kitchen islands, where it provides functional lighting combined with a stylish statement. When styling with this piece, consider pairing it with neutral tones or bold accent colours for contrast, and keep surrounding fixtures simple to let the pendant stand out. It’s also worth hanging at a height that provides adequate task lighting without overwhelming the space - a practical yet polished choice for various modern home environments.

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.
