Press
Tom Dixon's Grand Tour: Materiality in London
PRESS: the thickest industrially Pressed glass artefacts, designed to catch and refract light, and to last for ever.
See our new PRESS lights for the first time in a window display of our Kings Cross Flagship, created in collaboration with paper artisans G F Smith Papers. Made from thick glass, the pendant shapes are reminiscent of shipping buoys and children’s toys and the rippled surface projects linear and stripy patterns onto its surroundings.
Made of chunky coils of ribbed, transparent glass, PRESS projects linear and striped patterns across the vibrant yellow curved backdrop, supplied by G F Smith Papers.
Press Sphere Pendant
Press is a series of lights made from the thickest and most transparent glass with a satisfyingly rounded linear surface detail. Aptly named Sphere, the shape is reminiscent of shipping buoys and children’s toys. The ribbed glass creates diffusion of the light source and projects linear and stripy patterns. Bold in silhouette and simple in function, Press is manufactured by dropping massive globs of molten glass at 1,200 degrees centigrade, pressed in iron moulds under tons of pressure to create immensely durable lights.
