What Makes a Floor Lamp Unusual?
An unusual floor lamp goes beyond traditional lighting design, incorporating distinctive shapes, unexpected materials or playful proportions to create a statement piece that is as decorative as it is functional.
From sculptural designs to innovative lighting effects, there are several features that can make a floor lamp stand out:
Sculptural silhouettes: Curved, geometric or architectural forms that double as decorative features.
Unexpected materials: From handcrafted paper and natural timber to marble, glass and metal.
Playful proportions: Oversized shades, exaggerated stems and unconventional shapes that bring character to a room.
Creative lighting effects: Designs that diffuse, reflect or direct light in unexpected ways, transforming the atmosphere of a space.
Whether you're looking to create a striking focal point or introduce a subtle design flourish, our collection of floor lamps brings together innovative designs that balance individuality with everyday functionality.
The Edit
From sculptural statement pieces to innovative interpretations of classic designs, discover our selection of unusual floor lamps that bring character, craftsmanship and considered illumination to the home.
Sculptural Floor Lamps That Work as Objects
More than simply a source of light, these sculptural floor lamps blur the boundaries between functional lighting and decorative art. With expressive silhouettes and unexpected forms, each design brings a distinctive presence to a room, whether illuminated or not.
Melt LED Cone Fat Floor Lamp
Designed by Tom Dixon in collaboration with Swedish design collective FRONT, the Melt LED Cone Fat Floor Lamp takes inspiration from the mesmerising appearance of molten glass. Its distorted, reflective shade creates an almost liquid-like effect, transforming from a mirrored surface into a glowing orb when illuminated.
A striking addition to contemporary interiors, Melt brings a sense of movement and drama to a living room, creating an atmospheric focal point even when switched off.
Bolha Floor Lamp
Playful yet sophisticated, the Bolha Floor Lamp brings an unexpected sculptural quality to everyday lighting. Exclusive to Heal's, its distinctive form makes a statement without overwhelming its surroundings, balancing expressive design with a contemporary aesthetic.
Perfect for introducing character to an understated living room, Bolha works particularly well beside a low-profile sofa or as a decorative feature in an otherwise empty corner.
Flowerpot VP12 Floor Lamp
Originally designed by Verner Panton in 1968, the Flowerpot collection captures the playful spirit of mid-century design. The Flowerpot VP12 Floor Lamp brings its iconic rounded shades to a beautifully balanced standing silhouette, combining bold geometry with soft, inviting illumination.
Its distinctive proportions make it a natural choice for adding colour and character to a living room, while its timeless appeal allows it to sit comfortably alongside both contemporary and vintage-inspired furniture.
Unusual Floor Lamps for the Living Room
A carefully chosen floor lamp can transform the atmosphere of a living room, bringing balance to a seating arrangement or creating an unexpected focal point. From oversized design classics to elegant directional lighting, these distinctive pieces combine visual impact with everyday practicality.
Gravity XL Floor Lamp
Designed by Space Copenhagen for Gubi, the Gravity XL Floor Lamp combines generous proportions with beautifully contrasting materials. Its substantial base anchors a softly diffusing fabric shade, creating a harmonious balance between sculptural form and gentle illumination.
The understated silhouette makes it particularly effective beside a generously proportioned sofa, where its scale adds presence without overwhelming the room. Ideal for creating a relaxed atmosphere, Gravity brings a sense of quiet sophistication to contemporary living spaces.
Arco Floor Light
An icon of Italian design, the Arco Floor Light was created by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni for Flos in 1962. Its sweeping stainless steel arch extends from a substantial marble base, allowing light to be positioned overhead without the need for a ceiling fitting.
Both architectural and practical, Arco makes a striking addition to open-plan living spaces, where its dramatic silhouette can extend over a sofa or seating area. A timeless example of form meeting function, it remains as relevant today as when it was first conceived.
Gräshoppa Floor Lamp
Designed by Greta M. Grossman in 1947, the Gräshoppa Floor Lamp is celebrated for its slender, angled silhouette and distinctive conical shade. Its playful proportions bring a subtle mid-century influence to modern interiors, while the directional light makes it particularly well suited to reading corners.
Position Gräshoppa beside an armchair or sofa to create an inviting space to unwind. With its visually light frame and understated elegance, it's an ideal choice for smaller living rooms where space is at a premium.
Handmade and Unexpected Materials
Sometimes it's the material rather than the silhouette that makes a floor lamp truly distinctive. From traditional Japanese paper-making to the natural warmth of timber and terracotta, these designs celebrate craftsmanship and the beauty of unconventional materials.
Akari 9A Floor Lamp
Created by Japanese-American artist and designer Isamu Noguchi, the Akari Light Sculptures celebrate the beauty of traditional craftsmanship. Handmade from delicate washi paper and supported by a lightweight framework, the Akari 9A Floor Lamp has an organic, almost weightless appearance.
When illuminated, its paper shade diffuses light into a soft, welcoming glow, creating a calming atmosphere. Its sculptural silhouette makes it a beautiful addition to relaxed living rooms and bedrooms, particularly alongside natural materials and understated furnishings.
Keel Stem Floor Lamp
The Keel Stem Floor Lamp brings a contemporary, sculptural quality to the home, combining an elegant silhouette with a considered approach to materials. Its distinctive form makes it an eye-catching addition to a living room, while its understated aesthetic allows it to complement a variety of interior styles.
Positioned beside a sofa or favourite armchair, Keel introduces a refined design statement without overwhelming the surrounding space.
9602 ‘Chinese Hat’ Floor Lamp
Originally designed by Finnish designer Paavo Tynell in 1938, the 9602 Floor Lamp is affectionately known as the Chinese Hat, a reference to its distinctive, generously proportioned shade. Combining an elegant, slender stem with thoughtful decorative detailing, the design reflects Tynell's ability to balance functionality with timeless beauty.
Its softly diffused illumination makes it an inviting addition beside a sofa or lounge chair, while its unusual silhouette brings a refined, characterful presence to both contemporary and traditional interiors.

Words: Cross Nelson
This year we are proud to celebrate the 10th anniversary of our Brunel furniture range. Designed by Rob Scarlett, the collection has become a firm favourite since its introduction. When asked how he feels about his range turning a decade old he answered, ‘One of the things that Heal’s has always been excellent at is delivering that longevity.’
As a company founded in 1810, longevity is a core value of our business, but most importantly, a core value of our product design. Ever since Ambrose Heal introduced his furniture designs to the company in the 1890s, the mission for Heal’s furniture production has been to craft long lasting, well made pieces of furniture that people will be proud to own.
The Brunel range perfectly embodies this mission, and with a decade on the shopfloor under its belt, it underscores how the best of Heal’s pieces are the ones that remain timeless. The timeless character of the range comes from Scarlett’s synthesis of styles; he nods to the Mid-Century with powder coated steel hairpin legs, and reflects the values of the Arts & Crafts movement in the simple, yet intentional craft of the wooden cabinetry.
It is the subtlety of the ornament of these pieces that adds to the timelessness of them, which Scarlett describes as ‘small details that add together.’ Expanding on his approach to the design he says ‘I really dislike big showy things because your furniture needs to sit within a wider environment, and if all of your furniture is shouting, it's not very relaxing to walk into…I quite like quiet furniture.’
When designing his early furniture ranges for Heal’s, Ambrose Heal believed that furniture should be beautiful, but ornament should never compromise the functionality of a piece.
When asked about the design for Brunel, Scarlett quoted the Shaker philosophy, “Don't make something unless it is both necessary and useful; but if it is both necessary and useful, don't hesitate to make it beautiful.”
Clearly Scarlett understood the elements of furniture design that Heal’s valued, and crafted a range that reflected these very values. Together, the thoughtful design and the practicality of the Brunel range makes it ideal for people who want furniture that they can feel proud to own and feel comfortable using on a daily basis.
Not only was it important to Ambrose Heal to produce well made furniture, but he also believed that Heal’s should offer economical ranges so that a wider market could afford to furnish their homes with high quality pieces. Brunel was designed with the same attention to the consumer, and its approachable price point makes it ideal for those who are looking to buy quality furniture without spending an exorbitant amount.
The price is also complimented by the extensive selection in the range, meaning that you can efficiently furnish an entire space with Brunel. In our stores and on our website the range is configured into ‘The Brunel Apartment’ to show how the living room, the dining room, and the bedroom can all be outfitted with pieces from the range.
It is especially convenient for furnishing more compact spaces, since the airy appearance of the hairpin legs allow the space to feel more open, even with multiple pieces in the room.
Over the last decade, the lifestyle imagery of Brunel has situated the furniture within industrial urban lofts, Scandinavian style bungalows, and sleek mid-century flats, demonstrating how the timeless nature of the range allows it to sit comfortably within a variety of interiors.
Despina Curtis was the stylist behind the original and latest Brunel photoshoots, when asked how it feels to style the same range a decade later, Curtis said, ‘It’s really encouraging to see the Brunel collection stand the test of time and still feel fresh and relevant 10 years on. It’s a testament to how adaptable the range is when you look at the images from the launch shoot and also the most recent incarnation.’
Reflecting on her choice of interiors for the 2014 shoot, Curtis said, ‘Brunel’s design roots are underpinned by an industrial style aesthetic. I wanted to place the collection within a backdrop which was a nod to an environment where it was created . As well as finding an interior which would appeal to a younger urban dwelling audience.’
Considering the 2024 Brunel imagery, Curtis said, ‘Fast forward 10 years and the most recent shoot embraced the mid century design aesthetic within the collection. We used an original 1960’s house in London with lots of great textures such as teak wood and slate walls which created a lovely tonal backdrop to the new version of Brunel.’
The new version of Brunel that Curtis mentions is the special tenth anniversary edition of the range, featuring red legs rather than the traditional black. This bold pop of colour enhances the versatility of Brunel and gives customers the exciting chance to incorporate some colour into their spaces.
Curtis is also an expert on colour, having recently launched her new colour consultancy, Etté, so we asked her for tips on the best ways to introduce red into an interior. ‘Buying the Brunel in red, it's just that flash of red, it's not a wash of it, so it can work really well against darker colours or very lovely neutral whites,’ Curis explains.
‘When wanting to integrate a bold colour into a space I would recommend starting small to build up your confidence. This could be choosing a bold colour object such as a textile piece or a lamp. Red generally works with a lot of colours, you’d be surprised.’ So if your interiors are in need of a refresh, this anniversary range is the perfect way to try something new and unexpected.
With a new colour option and the classic Brunel range feeling just as fresh as when it first launched, we are confident that this range will continue to furnish homes for another decade. Accessible, practical, and timeless, Brunel has become a symbol of the Heal’s brand, meaning you can take pride in knowing that you’ve invested in a piece of considered design.
With brighter, warmer days on the horizon – and a chance to throw open the doors to entertain – the New Collection at Heal’s reflects a growing desire for colour and vibrancy in our homes as we emerge from hibernation and step into a new season.
In furniture, we’re celebrating the beauty of natural materials with a mix of oak and travertine to create a sense of texture and luxury, while pops of colour are introduced through soft, sculptural lighting and stripes and checks place pattern at the heart of our home accessories.
A new aesthetic of comfort-conscious upholstery is also emerging with a range of sumptuous bedding and sofas that feel as light as a feather. Just in time for sunnier times, our expert buyers select their favourite pieces across furniture, lighting, accessories and soft furnishings, sure to inspire fresh thinking in how to decorate your spaces. It’s time to hit refresh.
“I’m thrilled about our New Collection. It’s really considered and cohesive, bringing a sense of style, with accents of colour and pattern. I really hope our customers will be inspired by the new pieces, which marry superior design with enduring quality.
A stand-out for me is the Astrid modular sofa, which combines versatility and aesthetics. The modular design makes it easy to suit any space from small-living to cinema rooms. Additionally, the duck feather and down seat cushion fill and extra padding offer supreme comfort.
For bedrooms, the launch of our Marlow four-poster bed in an oak finish will bring luxury to pared-back interiors. In soft furnishings, the Giro rug by GAN is a real talking point and the Anais mirrors – oval and round – are an elegant addition to our best-selling collection of the same name.
Sabina Miller, Buying Director
“In textiles, I love the Giro rug by Valencia-based GAN, which uses colour and texture to create a fun optical illusion of unfolding cylinders. I think the new styles in our popular Ribbon collection of lighting are welcome additions, providing versatility as either a wall light or table lamp.
Lastly, I’m really excited about the introduction of travertine as a beautiful natural material in our own-brand furniture, too. It provides a warmer and less formal look than Carrara marble, which we already offer in our Anais collection paired with rich walnut.”
Hannah Armstrong, Senior Furniture Buyer
“I’m really excited about our super-stylish bedding from Camomile London for layering with our plain bedding collections, especially the fresh seersucker and organic cotton sateen sets.
Also in textiles, I’m obsessed by the cushions from Lucy Silvester – Lifetime and Mushroom – who is part of our Heal’s Discovers programme to champion up-and-coming talent. Her nature-inspired prints and colour palettes are sublime.
When it comes to accessories, I love the new Heal’s + L.F. Markey pieces, especially the colour updates to the collection of mugs. They are well priced and make for a great present.
Looking ahead to summer, Niwaki is a brilliant brand for budding gardeners, offering excellent quality Japanese tools such as the secateurs, cultivator and trowel. In furniture, the Pillow bed is a positively dreamy design, plus it has concealed storage.”
Hannah Thistlethwaite, Senior Buyer & Sustainability Lead
“I love the additional products in lighting as they’re soft, fabric-focused and represent a step-change for us in terms of style. The Raie striped table lamp and Sheer pendant light are stand-out pieces while the Rygrad floor lamp has all the hallmarks of a future best-seller.
Elsewhere, I’ll definitely be buying the bedding from Camomile London in the sage, peach blossom and ochre colourway.”
Claire Anstey, Lighting Buyer
“In Brands, I’m very excited about the launch of the exclusive Brewer Green colourway available on select pieces in our collection of Eos outdoor furniture designed by Matthew Hilton for Case. It’s great to see how we can refresh a popular and timeless range with a modern colour trend.
I also love the new pieces we’re adding to the outdoor offering by Fritz Hansen, especially the Virkelyst outdoor lounge chair and sofa, in either a striped blue or yellow fabric. The designs have a Scandinavian look with a simple frame and deep, soft cushions. It’s so comfortable!
Elsewhere, the Pillow storage bed and Camomile London bedding are my favourite pieces.”
Berengere Favraud, Brands & Concessions Buyer
Refresh your space for the season ahead with our New Collection
When it comes to design, we believe that it’s the smallest details that can make the biggest difference to enhancing your life, whether luxurious materials for your bed to ensure better sleep, great ideas for dining furniture that gathers people together, or simply clever lighting with the power to change how you feel in a space.
Hannah Armstrong, our senior furniture buyer, explains: “At Heal’s, we focus on quality, materials and form, as well as an obsessive attention to detail. These are the elements that make our approach really special, confidently elevating our design above everything else on the market.”
She adds: “Beautiful details might appear where you least expect them, such as in the stitching of gorgeous upholstery or in the joinery of spectacular cabinetry, for example. Excitingly, they could be hiding in plain sight…”
Here, we shine a light on just some of the finer details in our designs that could change your life. It’s time to live better.
Dreamy designs
Now, more than ever, quality sleep is conducive to improved physical health and mental wellbeing, so it’s important to seek out sound design for your bedroom. Pieces that envelop you in luxury, provide superior comfort and lull you into deep slumber.
Luckily, we’re the undisputed experts in sleep – after all, we’ve been crafting mattresses since we were founded in 1810 when we were the first to introduce the French feather style to London.
Today, all our mattresses are still handmade in the UK using organic, chemical-free or recycled fabrics while being pocket-sprung and hypo-allergenic.
But what are the bedroom designs that promise you better sleep? Firstly, we couldn’t be prouder of the chemical-free ticking of our Premium Sleep cashmere mattress, which is handcrafted in Somerset from beginning to end using an abundance of the finest natural fibres.
Cashmere, mohair, horsehair and silk are painstakingly hand-teased to give the mattress a truly sumptuous feel while traditional construction methods are employed to ensure long-lasting comfort. It’s the assurance of natural sleep – quite literally.
When it comes to the bed of your dreams, it’s all about the Matera, a masterclass in contemporary design with clean lines and metal legs plus upholstery in Daino leather. Look a little closer, though, and you’ll see that the headboard is hand-stitched, which is just another intricate detail that adds to its luxury.
How could you ever get out of bed on the wrong side? With a quality mattress and luxurious bed chosen, it would be remiss not to invest in five-star sheets that personalise your space further.
Our Organic cotton sateen bed linen will ensure you slip into something comfortable night after night. Expertly made in Portugal, the detail here is in the sumptuous 200 thread-count that makes the bedding irresistibly soft to the touch and lustrous in look. Everything you need to rise and shine seven days a week.
Hard-working style
While many of us have returned to the office for at least some of the week, there are still times when business needs to be conducted from home. So, why not carve out a work space that’s as inspiring as it is comfortable to support your productivity and creativity away from the hustle and bustle of the rest of the house?
There’s no denying that the right desk can set you up for success. The Henley, in particular, is the hardest-working design there is with compact proportions that conceal generous storage in slimline drawers.
Designed by Tim Rundle from solid and veneered walnut, it fits seamlessly into even the tightest of spaces, while the absence of any joints make for an elegant and fluid silhouette you can’t help but run your hands over.
A true investment piece for hybrid workers. Desk in situ, pull up a swivel chair in the iconic form of the Eames EA219 with an ergonomic shape and soft cushioning that promote excellent posture throughout the working day (and beyond, when you’re burning the midnight oil).
Although it was designed in 1960, it still looks thoroughly modern, and it’s the high-performance details that have kept it top of the agenda. Add the finishing touch to the ultimate WFH set-up with an Anglepoise original 1227 desk lamp that angles light in any direction thanks to its now-famous constant-spring tension. The smallest detail that really does make the biggest difference. Work it with innovative yet understated pieces that always overdeliver.
Laid-back luxury
In an increasingly busy and noisy word, it’s imperative to create a space for all-important ‘you-time’, whether curling up with a good book or settling down for the latest movie. Time to turn off your phone and dim the lights. Combining classic tailoring with contemporary form, the Tailor sofa is understated but stylish with comfortable proportions and elegant detailing.
But it’s the back cushions, filled with luxurious feathers, that are the secret detail in supporting your body and offering superior comfort. Meaning there’s really no excuse not to stay put until the credits roll. It’s an unrivalled design that helps you unwind.
Bright ideas
Getting your lighting right not only transforms the look of a space, but how you feel in it, from focused in a home office to creative in the kitchen and relaxed in your living room. So why not create a bespoke scheme with tailored details for every task and space?
A conversation starter in a social space, our Rock crystal LED chandelier is certain to bring the drama with a spectrum of dazzling intricacies, from its natural quartz rock crystals with LED pin-prick lights to its sleek brushed gold finish. Where to start with so many talking points?
There’s hidden beauty in the GLS Filament bulb by Calex, which combines cutting-edge tech with decorative aesthetics, featuring a soft wash of light that really sets the mood and provides a warm ambience for relaxed moments.
Working until late? Take even the toughest job to task with the Saber LED desk lamp featuring slimline proportions that mean it fits onto any surface and integrated lighting that provides illumination exactly where you need it. Illuminating designs for truly intelligent homes.
Calming influence
Everyday life is getting increasingly chaotic, but smart solutions for storage can turn your home into a sanctuary, improving how your interiors look and inspiring a feeling of calm. There’s plenty to surprise and delight with the concealed compartments without our Verona wine bar that means you can serve up your very own speakeasy at home (while keeping bottles, glasses and accoutrements pleasingly out of sight).
Drink up all the clever details. For the guest bedroom, the Alba bed is a touch of genius with a divan base for storing extra bedding when it’s not needed without taking up room elsewhere. A truly practical and clever aspect.
Lastly, storage doesn’t come much more versatile than in the Tra-Ra natural beech rail, which provides flexible hanging space that can be easily moved from room to room. Crafted by designer Tomoko Azumi, its delicate beech frame looks like a sculpture in its own right, while providing open storage for your clothes. All the elements that make this a future classic. Remember: a tidy mind begins with tidy design.
Elevated entertaining
It’s all about togetherness as we continue to prioritise how we spend our time – and what better way than entertaining loved ones around the table? A dining table sets the stage for hosting friends and family over good food and drink, so it needs be as practical as it is beautiful.
Gather round for our Massa dining table, which works as hard as it plays with a heat-proof and non-porous surface that can be extended for larger parties with a patented swivel mechanism hiding out of sight. Such practicalities can don’t mean aesthetics are compromised.
Team with the Austen dining chair with a curved backrest that enables you to linger comfortably long after dinner is done and the portable Orion table lamp that easily brings the party outside when the seasons change. Finer details that can turn a good gathering into a great one.
While summer may have been brief this year, it will soon be time to hunker down at home for autumn, whether curled up on the sofa with a box-set binge or wrapped up under the duvet with a hot chocolate. It doesn’t sound too bad, does it? A
s ever, the esteemed buying team at Heal’s has been working hard to bring you even more timeless design, whether furniture, lighting, accessories or textiles. Expect cutting-edge innovation, artisanal craftsmanship and attention-to-detail with plenty of enduring pieces for contemporary homes.
Here, three of our expert buyers reveal their favourite pieces from the new-season collection, from curated designers to Heal’s creations.
Sabina Miller, Buying Director
“In terms of furniture, I love the Forum sofa, designed by Robin Day in 1964 and reintroduced by Case in collaboration with the Robin and Lucienne Foundation, as it’s an icon of Mid-Century design. It’s available in a choice of fabric and leather with a hardwood walnut or oak frame, featuring a signature exposed finger-joint detail supported by exterior-mounted chrome legs. I’ve also got my eye on the Lazio side table: its cylindrical legs and lacquer finish certainly make a statement and add personality to any space.When it comes to lighting, my favourite piece is the Confetti table lamp, which provides a great way to add a pop of colour to a shelving unit, console or sideboard. Its playful base is made from hand-blown glass chips and is available in three colourways at a great price. Plus, each one is completely unique, so you’ll never spot another quite the same elsewhere.I’m a huge fan of our Amechi quilts, an exclusive collaboration with Heal’s, the designs inspired by traditional African patterns and reinterpreted by the designer. They put a new spin on centuries-old handwoven beaded textiles to add character to modern homes. The handwash and hand lotion from Pelegrims, a sustainable skincare brand made in small batches in Kent, are beautifully packaged and perfect for gifts. They’re made using grapeseed oil, Pinot Noir grapeseed and skin extracts.”
Hannah Thistlethwaite, Senior Buyer & Sustainability Lead
“I can’t wait to curl up with the Jules Pansu Picasso Femme Assise cushion. Made to last, these beautiful tapestry-woven cushions are produced by an award-winning, family-run company in France that was founded in 1878 and feature rich colours and amazing artwork by Picasso.In lighting, it’s all about the Carta Easyfit pendant: delicately handmade from rice paper and a playful update on the traditional paper lantern. It’s a great price, too.Favourite furniture? It’s got to be the Lando sideboard for its luxurious green lacquer finish and elegant curves.I really like the tactility of the Dash recycled placemats and the fact they are made from organic cork and recycled rubber.”
Claire Anstey, Senior Lighting Buyer
“I love the look of the new Flora family of sofas with its ruffled-back detail – a lovely way of adding softness to a contemporary space. The wraparound backrest provides a cocooning effect that’s inviting for the cooler months ahead.I’m biased, but I love all the lighting in the new-season collection, especially the Rock Crystal LED chandelier. The striking design combines natural quartz rock crystals with LED pin-prick lights and a sleeked brushed-gold finish. It’s something completely new and unique for us. The natural rock crystals are said to have strong positive energy and healing powers, too.I’m really excited about the new Gingerlily range of sleep accessories and I’m looking forward to purchasing the silk sleep masks and pillowcases as presents (and for myself…).Lastly, I’m loving all the prints and patterns working their way into our textiles offering this season, but I’m most looking forward to snuggling up under the new Flannel check bedlinen on a chilly winter’s night.”
