Flare Bead Pendant

Price History
Description
The Flare Opal collection reinterprets classic forms through simple, modern geometries that merge spheres and cones into elegant silhouettes. Flare Opal is blown from cased opalescent glass to create a soft, diffused and perfectly illuminated series of shapes. The collection is mouth blown using a series of metal moulds for flawless sculptural consistency. Each pendant includes a generous 3.5m cord, making the collection effortlessly adaptable for single statements or striking multi-pendant clusters in both residential and large commercial spaces.
Our Stylist Says
I love the simple yet sculptural profile of this pendant, which can add a contemporary touch to a variety of interiors. Its soft, diffused light makes it perfect for creating a warm, inviting atmosphere in living areas or bedrooms. The bead design lends itself well to minimalist or modern schemes, but it can also work beautifully in eclectic or Scandinavian interiors where understated elegance is key. Practical styling tips include pairing it with other pendant lights of different shapes for a layered look, or hanging it above a dining table or kitchen island to emphasise its sculptural form. Its clean, understated aesthetic makes it a versatile piece that can elevate both residential and commercial spaces.

About Tom Dixon
From Bass Guitar to Design Guru
Tom Dixon isn't your typical designer. Starting as the bass guitarist for Funkapolitan, a twist of fate led him to the world of design after a series of motorbike accidents.
By the 1980s, he was gaining recognition with pieces like the iconic "S' chair for Italian giant Cappellini. By the 90s, his creativity brought him to the forefront of British design, even rejuvenating the Habitat brand.
But it wasn't until 2002 that the Tom Dixon brand was established, with its base in London's King's Cross. The brand, known for pioneering lighting, furniture, and accessories, quickly gained international acclaim and is now represented in 90 countries.
Master of Materials
Tom Dixon's genius lies in his ability to reimagine ordinary materials. From the early days, he transformed found objects and industrial materials into art.
Whether it's the allure of copper, the shine of stainless steel, the imperfections in hand-beaten brass, or the timeless nature of stone, Tom Dixon products always have a unique touch.
His signature products, from the Melt pendant inspired by molten glass to the instantly recognizable Beat, S Chair, and Wingback, can be found in museums like the Victoria & Albert Museum in London and MOMA in New York.
More Than Just Products
Tom Dixon's impact isn't limited to individual items. In 2007, he launched Design Research Studio, which has since redefined spaces around the world.
From the Drugstore Brasserie in Paris to reimagining the modern cruise experience for Virgin Voyages, his design agency creates immersive environments.
