Whirl Large Pendant

Price History
Description
Whirl is a striking pendant light inspired by the op-art movement. It's spiralling form results in a mesmerising play of light, designed to create mirrored reflections and infinitely repeating abstract patterns. Made in Germany using high-tech manufacturing, following the same process of injection blow moulding and precise metalisation as found across all our polycarbonate shades
Our Stylist Says
I love this pendant for its bold, sculptural presence and warm, reflective finish. It works particularly well in contemporary or mid-century inspired interiors, adding a touch of sophistication without overpowering the space. Practical styling tips include hanging it over dining tables or within kitchen islands to create a central focal point, but it also works beautifully in more eclectic or minimalist schemes as a statement piece. For a cohesive look, pair it with similarly warm-toned metallic accessories or keep surrounding decor simple to let the pendant stand out. Its versatile size and striking design make it a reliable choice for adding personality and a curated feel to 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.
