Melt LED Chandelier - Large

Design: Tom Dixon, 2020 for Tom Dixon.

The Melt Large Chandelier features seven medium Melt shades powered by integrated LED modules. The Melt collection features an avant-garde design that undergoes a mesmerizing optical transformation, shifting from a hyper-reflective mirror finish when off to a translucent, hot-blown glass effect with a rich depth when illuminated. Made in Germany using high-tech manufacturing, this striking series pairs cutting-edge engineering with organic form to manipulate light and reflection, creating a dramatic focal point.

The Melt Collection was inspired by the idea of molten glass, lava flows, and the distorted beauty of Melting materials. It explores the interplay of light and reflection, aiming to create a surreal, otherworldly effect that shifts between solid and liquid. When illuminated, its semi-transparent shade comes alive with an atmospheric glow.

Features

• Unique Creation Process: Designed in 2015 in the London Studio, Melt shades are made using blow-molded polycarbonate and finished with vacuum metallization. This creates a mirrored look when off and a molten, glowing effect when lit. Made in Germany, the process blends advanced technology with sculptural design.
• Inspired by Melting Materials: The Melt collection was inspired by the idea of molten glass, lava flows, and the distorted beauty of melting materials. It explores the interplay of light and reflection, aiming to create a surreal, otherworldly effect that shifts between solid and liquid.
