THE MELT SERIES
Tom Dixon is probably known best for his
Melt-series
that pushed the boundaries for colored and processed glass. Using high-tech methods used for sunglasses, Dixon succeeded to create an impressive and reflective glass surface for his Melt-series. The process gives the glass a shiny and smooth surface when turned off and a hypnotizing, beautiful and almost liquid feel when turned on.
OTHER SERIES FROM DIXON
However, Tom Dixon has made more contemporary and timeless series that might appeal more to the general consumer.
The Spring pendant
is a beautiful and functional lamp in a brass or white exterior. The lamp is made up of braided metal threads, arranged in a precise order, making it possible to adjust the thickness of the shade. This means that you can change the look from a globe-like form all the way to a flat saucer form, making it easy to transport and easy to play with. The light comes from a custom made LED in the top of the pendant.
Another interesting and futuristic pendant from Tom Dixon is
the Curve
. This fun and different lamp is made from a silver-coated cube with air holes, spreading the light in a wild and playful manor. The lamp is very fascinating and looks good in groups of three over a table or in a corner.
A more classic and Italian inspired series is the
Stone-series
. This series is made from marble and brass in a pompous, yet understated design. Tom Dixon chose to you the same type of marble used to build the Indian palace Taj Mahal. All Stone-products are unique and you can buy matching accessories for the lamps. Especially the
wall light
gives off a fantastic ring of light on the wall, that works beautifully in the bathroom or in the hall.
If you like the Melt-series, you might want to take a look at the
Cut-lamps
that are processed and coated in the same way as the beautiful Melt-lamps. The
Cut-series
has lamps in a more edgy design and reflects the light source in the most beautiful way. An interesting and provocative choice for the dining room or your kitchen.
Lastly, you can have a look at the
Beat-series
, a series of lamps in brass and neutral colors. The series offer a lot of beautiful lamps and all of them work well together. There are different sizes and shapes, so you can choose depending on the room in your home that you want to decorate. These lamps are easy to implement in your home and gives a differing light depending on the inside color of the shade.
