Tom Dixon's Extraordinary MELT Lights

Tom Dixon's Extraordinary MELT Lights

MELT Light

With MELT, our experiments in the technologically advanced field of vacuum metallisation takes on a new twist. MELT is a distorted lighting globe born from our collaboration with Swedish radical design collective FRONT.

The light bouncing and reflecting around the uneven surfaces creates a dramatic melting hot blown glass effect. MELT is translucent when on and mirror finish when off. Its internal luminosity is visible in full daylight.

“When off, they have an organic solid metallic mass, and when lit they take on a hallucinogenic aura that transfixes the viewer.” – Tom Dixon on MELT.

At night, it emits an attractive, mildly hallucinogenic light, akin to recent Hubble Telescope images of the cosmos. Available in 30cm and 50cm, in copper, gold and silver.


Creating a striking gesture upon arrival – a cluster of MELT pendant lights are delicately suspended in the central void of Himitsu, a cocktail lounge bar in Atlanta, USA.
