Flare Top Pendant
£263
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
The Flare Top Pendant is a sleek, modern piece that adds a subtle yet striking accent to contemporary interiors. I love its minimalist silhouette and warm, diffused glow, making it perfect for creating ambient lighting in dining rooms, kitchens, or living spaces. It works particularly well in pared-back or Scandi-inspired schemes, where its understated design can really shine. Practical styling tips include hanging a cluster of two or three above a kitchen island or dining table to enhance visual interest, or pairing it with softer textures and neutral tones for a calm, cohesive look. Its versatile shape and soft illumination make it a failsafe choice for adding both function and style to various modern interiors.

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.
