To mark the ten year anniversary of one of Tom Dixon’s most recognisable lighting collections, MELT returns with a new bronze hue. Sitting alongside the current offering, MELT Bronze is remiscent of melted chocolate and gives a warm glow. Evocative of molten glass, the MELT Mini Pendant Light in bronze produces a mesmerising hot-blown glass effect. MELT is created through a process of blow moulding and vacuum metallisation to achieve melted orbs with abundant and unusual luminosity. Suitable for either residential or commercial spaces, each shade is engraved with “10 YEARS OF MELT – Tom Dixon”, in celebration of MELT’s 10th anniversary since its launch at Salone del Mobile in 2015.

Features
Unique Creation Process
Designed in 2015 in the London Studio, Melt shades are made using blow-moulded polycarbonate and finished with vacuum metallisation. This creates a mirrored look when off and a molten, glowing effect when lit. Made in Germany, the process blends advanced technology with sculptural design.
Inspired by Melting Materials
The Melt collection was inspired by the idea of molten glass, lava flows, and the distorted beauty of melting materials. It explores the interplay of light and reflection, aiming to create a surreal, otherworldly effect that shifts between solid and liquid.
Ambient Illumination
The Melt Pendant Light comes with a 6W LED light source and is suitable for inline dimming through mains TRIAC dimming switches. Emitting a warm 3000K colour temperature, the Melt Pendant Light provides soft and ambient illumination for any setting, whether residential or commercial.
