Lamps That Reflect The Manufacturing Process

Lamps That Reflect The Manufacturing Process

By Piers Fawkes on December 1, 2009

Tom Dixon’s latest lamps are interesting because the design company has left in marks made by the manufacturing process that would normally be removed. Made from heavy weight, extra thick pressed glass, the Bead and Top pendant lights were inspired by solid globules of glass that come from the furnace ready to be blown. They each bear the “unique marks” of the manufacturing process. It’s pretty subtle but it’s still an interesting direction.
