Description
Taken straight out of their beloved home in Los Angeles, these revolving mobiles are examples of early experiments of the process they grew to be known for. These investigations led to the creation of two objects whose organic shapes move playfully around each other and are strongly reminiscent of Ray's expansive artwork. Made from robust plywood, these mobiles are great for a decorative feature for inside or outside the home.
Our Stylist Says
I love this Plywood Mobile as a ceiling light because of its sculptural appeal and modern, playful design. It works really well in contemporary interiors, especially those with minimal or Scandinavian styling, where the clean lines and natural wood finish add warmth and texture. To style it effectively, consider pairing with neutral or monochrome colour schemes to let the pendant become a focal point, or hang it in spaces with high ceilings to maximise its visual impact. Practical tips include keeping nearby furniture simple to avoid visual clutter and positioning it where it can be appreciated from multiple angles-like above a dining table or in a living room corner. Its distinctive shape also lends itself to creative layering with other design elements, making it a versatile choice for adding personality to a space.

About Heal's
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.
