Made using a fabric-forming technique, the felt is created by heat pressing a double layer of material which is then sculpted into shape. Creating an attractive, soft triangular form, the shade is placed upon a slender tripod stand, resulting in a contemporary structure that is defined by elegant contrasts. Perfect for placing in a living room next to a sofa or lounge chair, the light creates a comforting ambience. Also available, the Tom Dixon Felt Shade Pendant Light.
British designer Tom Dixon rose to prominence in the mid 1980s as “the talented untrained designer with a line in welded salvage furniture.” By the end of the 1980s, he was designing contemporary chairs for Italian design brands like Cappellini before creating his own design company, ‘Eurolounge’, to make and sell his work.
2002 marked a new phase in Tom Dixon’s career with the launch of his eponymous design company which designs and manufactures a wide range of contemporary lighting and furniture inspired by the unique heritage, innovation and the robust, no nonsense engineering of British industry. Tom Dixon’s most iconic designs include the space helmet inspired Mirror Ball Pendant Light, Copper Shade, hand beaten Beat Lights and the Wingback Chair.
Tom Dixon was awarded an OBE in 2001 while one of his most recent accolades includes winning Designer of the Year 2008 from Architektur and Wohnen Magazine.
