Tom Dixon
Globe Opal Pendant
£285
Price History
Description
In our perpetual quest for the purest forms, Globe stands out as the most minimal of the lot. The spherical orb shade, highly mirrored and perfectly reflective, reveals a multiplicity of internal reflections from the integral LED when switched on. The archetypical silhouette allows for use in any space.
Our Stylist Says
I love this globe pendant for its sleek, contemporary look and versatile appeal. Its minimalist design makes it a perfect statement piece in modern and eclectic interiors alike, adding a touch of sculptural elegance without overwhelming the space. It works particularly well in open-plan kitchens, dining areas, or bedrooms where a clean, unobtrusive light source is desired. For styling tips, consider hanging a cluster at different heights for visual interest or pairing it with matte black or brass fittings to accentuate its modern edge. To keep the look fresh and impactful, it pairs beautifully with monochrome palettes or contrasting textures, helping to create a cohesive yet striking design statement.

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.
