Tom Dixon's famous Melt lamp collection is expanding with this portable, cordless, rechargeable version. The cordless Melt lamp is a dynamic light sculpture with infinite reflections... With its soft, domed organic shape, the globe-diffuser reminds us of a drop of glass or molten metal! Melt gives rise to a fascinating, hypnotic optical effect. The deformed sphere with its irregular lines is made of an innovative material: a clever mix of polycarbonate with a few microns of metal. The sphere is created through a blow moulding and vacuum metallisation process. This very special metallic finish allows Melt to change and look totally different! Indeed, when the light is off, the metallic shade is opaque and reflective. Once the light is on, it becomes translucent like glass. The material is dressed in beautiful deep reflections, playing with light, colour, transparency and depth. The sphere is supported by a conical steel foot. The globe-diffuser is equipped with a fully replaceable and repairable LED module developed by Tom Dixon. Offering up to 10 hours of battery life, the Melt Portable cordless lamp has a dimmer on its base. You can take Melt Portable with you wherever you want to create different moods. Tom Dixon is a major player on the international design scene, and his work features in the collections of the world's leading museums, including the London Design Museum, the V&A, the Pompidou Centre in Paris and the MoMA in New York.
I love this table lamp for its contemporary yet playful aesthetic - the metallic polycarbonate surface offers a sleek, high-end look, while the colour-changing feature adds versatility to various settings. It works especially well in modern interiors, such as minimalist spaces or eclectic schemes where a statement piece is needed. Practical styling tips include pairing it with neutral furniture to let its colour-shifting capability truly stand out or using it as a bedside lamp for ambient, customisable lighting. Its rechargeable design makes it perfect for movable accents around the home or for outdoor use, adding a touch of functional elegance to both indoor and outdoor environments.
