Ceiling + Pendant Lamps | Tom Dixon Lighting Melt Pendant

Description

Tom Dixon taps into high-tech to create the striking Melt Pendant (2014), which was inspired by his fascination with a vacuum metallization process commonly used to make sunglasses. This pendant starts as a polycarbonate ball placed in a vacuum chamber. When the air is sucked out, an electrical charge vaporizes metal foil into a mist of particles that create a 0.02-micrometer-thick mirror-finish coating. Swedish design collective Front partnered with Dixon to give Melt the look of hot blown glass (when on, it’s translucent; when off, it’s reflective). Bulb (included): 6W LED. UL Listed. Made in Germany.
