Melt is a beautifully distorted pendant in a modern finish and matching ceiling rose. Featuring an integrated LED module, this ceiling light creates a mesmerising melting hot-blown glass effect when on and a mirror-finish effect when off. Made in Germany using a high tech manufacturing technique to achieve the perfect melted orb.
Obsessed with the idea of creating an imperfect, organic and naturalistic lighting object, Melt was created in collaboration with FRONT; a Swedish design collective. Melt is evocative of molten glass, the interior of a melting glacier, or images of deep space.
The mirror finish of each pendant is then created by the highly technical process of vacuum metallisation. The polycarbonate shell is secreted in the interior of a metallic chamber, the air sucked out, and an immense electrical charge channelled through. With a bang and pop a thin strip of copper foil is vaporised into a fine mist of metallic particles that settles across the interior.
Melt is available in a series of Pendants, Chandeliers, Surface, Floor and Table lights.
Please note: Shade in the Smoke colour has a distinct blue tint.

Writing an introduction to the designs of Tom Dixon seems a bit obsolete – after all, he is a widely celebrated interior design superstar. He designed products from lighting to furniture, tableware through to candelabras. Tom Dixon's designs are instantly recognisable for their sculptural qualities and engineered materiality. And they'll grace your home with industrialised lux.
Tom Dixon is a restless innovator who works mainly in lighting, accessories and furniture. From his departure point in the early eighties welding salvaged steel into radical furniture, he has constantly reinvented himself through a series of different design lives – working with luxury Italian goods with Cappellini, Creative Director at Habitat and Artek, creating Plastics company Eurolounge and finally instigating his own eponymous brand in 2002 to rethink the product designer’s relationship with industry.
The latest chapter of Tom’s design journey began in 2002 when he left corporate life to create his own eponymous brand as a platform for a series of new adventures in the design of products and interiors.
15 years on, Tom Dixon is now a widely celebrated global force in interior design with his own hubs in New York, Hong Kong SAR, China, London, Los Angeles and Tokyo. His 600 products range from lighting to furniture, from tableware through to fragrance. They are instantly recognisable for their sculptural qualities and engineered materiality.
