Description
Individually handmade and finished at his woodland workshop in Cornwall, Tom Raffield’s Skipper Floor Light is reminiscent of the traditional woven Cornish baskets from which it draws its inspiration. Available in sustainably sourced ash, oak or walnut, Tom uses the traditional craft of steam bending to create a one-off shade elevated by three splayed legs in matching wood.
Our Stylist Says
I love this floor lamp for its sculptural, handcrafted design that adds warmth and character to a space. Its natural oak finish makes it versatile, working well in both contemporary and traditional interiors, especially those with a Scandi or Japandi aesthetic. Pratical styling tips include placing it in a corner to create a cosy reading nook or next to a favourite armchair for soft, ambient lighting. Pair it with understated furnishings to highlight its craftsmanship or mix with textured accessories to enhance its natural feel. It’s a statement piece that combines function with artistic appeal, making it perfect for adding an organic touch to living rooms or bedrooms.

Explore from Heal's. Founded in 1810, Heal's are an iconic brand with a history of innovation, and are synonymous with timeless elegance and exceptional 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.
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.
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.
