Melt Floor Chandelier

Price History
Description
The Melt Floor Chandelier reimagines the classic chandelier as a sculptural floor lamp. The Melt collection features an avant-garde design that undergoes a mesmerising optical transformation, shifting from a hyper-reflective mirror finish when off to a translucent, hot-blown glass effect with a rich depth when illuminated. Made in Germany using high-tech manufacturing, this striking series pairs cutting-edge engineering with organic form to manipulate light and reflection, creating a dramatic focal point.
Our Stylist Says
I love the Melt floor lamp for its sculptural presence and playful use of glass bubbles that add a contemporary edge to any space. It works particularly well in modern and minimalist interiors, where its organic forms can be appreciated as functional art. Practical styling tips include positioning it in a corner or behind a sofa to create a focal point, or using it to add visual interest in a breakout space. Keep surrounding decor simple and understated to allow the lamp’s unique shape and material to shine, and consider pairing it with soft, warm lighting to enhance its reflective surfaces. This piece lends itself to eclectic or high-end modern settings where it can act as both a lighting solution and a statement piece.

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.
