Spec Sheet

Description

British design star Tom Dixon turns the proverbial beat around with his Mirror Ball Pendant Light. Inspired by 1960s space helmets and the timeless disco icon, the fixture's dazzling reflections result from a remarkable process called vacuum metallization. Vaporizing a thin layer of pure metal onto the internal surface of a polycarbonate globe (via an electrical charge) creates the brilliant mirror finish. The metallic interior focuses the light and projects the warm illumination downward through the clear bottom of the globe. In silvery aluminum or goldtone finish, the pendant's gleaming surface brings more than a dash of nightlife ambiance to any setting.

Tom Dixon

“If there are rules to design, I don’t know what they are,” declares self-taught Tom Dixon. This Tunisian-born Brit started out with stints painting cartoons, as a printer, then bass player in a disco-funk outfit. But it was honing his welding skills in an auto body repair shop that led to a design breakthrough, the now revered S Chair for Cappellini. From there, after several years helming design at the iconic Habitat during its prime years, he established his eponymous brand in 2002 and with it a body of near-unrivaled work.

Tom Dixon is synonymous with the idiosyncratic sensibilities that inform so much of British aesthetics, yet by a beat all his own. He challenges with his use of materials in unexpected applications, and reworkings of otherwise conventional classics into elegant gems. His remarkable creative output covers a wide swath of categories, among them at A+R, his lighting, furniture, décor, tabletop and barware. Tom also manages to extend his exhaustive vision to hotels, restaurants—including his own at this wonderful campus at the Coal Drops Yard in King’s Cross—and the odd home. For good reason this OBE’s design work now resides in the collections of the V&A, MoMA and the Pompidou.
