The playful Mirror Ball Lamp (2003) by Tom Dixon evokes comparisons to the appearance of a bubble hovering above the floor. And indeed, the comparison is not too distant from how the design is made. Blown like a bubble into a mold, the plastic sphere is then given a real chrome metal interior for a highly reflective, mirrored finish. The process is technically complex, requiring a vacuum metallization process that Dixon has developed over a number of years, as well as specialized machinery and an ultra-clean environment. Crafted by highly skilled technicians, every Mirror Ball is inspected to ensure it meets Dixon's demanding quality standards. Tom Dixon's work is included in the permanent collections of many museums, including the Victoria & Albert Museum and MoMA. The Mirror Ball Floor Lamp comes with a black foam base; a 47" stand in stainless steel is available, sold separately. Bulb (not included): incandescent 60W/110V/E26.
