Price History
Description
The Melt Large Chandelier features seven Melt shades powered by integrated LED modules. 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 this chandelier for its bold, sculptural presence and its contemporary, industrial vibe. It works particularly well in modern or minimalist interiors where it can serve as a statement piece, ideally hung above dining tables or in high-ceilinged foyers. When styling, consider pairing it with other metallic accents or neutral colour palettes to let its shape and reflective surface stand out. Practical tips include ensuring the bulbs are kept cool to preserve the glossy finish and hanging it at the right height-generally around 30-36 inches above a table-to optimise its visual impact without obstructing sightlines. This piece’s playful yet sophisticated form makes it a versatile choice for both residential and commercial spaces aiming for a contemporary edge.

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.
