Inspired by the alluring effect of molten glass, the internationally recognised Melt design can now be appreciated outdoors with new standard fittings that work with all large Melt polycarbonate shades. The light can rest on a tripod base to serve as a dynamic impromptu floor lamp, or it can be hung from a branch to provide an ethereal glow outside.
Available in a range of colourways, including a stunning half-metallised finish, the Tom Dixon Melt Large Portable Lamp boasts a rechargeable battery that offers long-lasting, cord-free illumination with three-step dimming to suit any occasion. Whether used alone or combined with other eye-catching pieces in Tom Dixon’s Melt range, this luminaire is sure to leave a lasting impression.
British designer Tom Dixon rose to prominence in the mid 1980s as “the talented untrained designer with a line in welded salvage furniture.” By the end of the 1980s, he was designing contemporary chairs for Italian design brands like Cappellini before creating his own design company, ‘Eurolounge’, to make and sell his work.
2002 marked a new phase in Tom Dixon’s career with the launch of his eponymous design company which designs and manufactures a wide range of contemporary lighting and furniture inspired by the unique heritage, innovation and the robust, no nonsense engineering of British industry. Tom Dixon’s most iconic designs include the space helmet inspired Mirror Ball Pendant Light, Copper Shade, hand beaten Beat Lights and the Wingback Chair.
Tom Dixon was awarded an OBE in 2001 while one of his most recent accolades includes winning Designer of the Year 2008 from Architektur and Wohnen Magazine.
