The Tom Dixon Whirl Collection is the brand's latest experiment in mirrored reflections. The collection was inspired by Optical Art, a movement popular in the 1960s that explored optical illusions created by distorted or manipulated geometric patterns. The spiral patterns featured on the shade reference this movement, creating a myriad of internal reflections that confuse the eye.
The Whirl Collection features a pendant, floor chandelier, surface light, outdoor portable lamp, chandelier, table lamp, and floor lamp. Each piece is crafted in a state-of-the-art factory in Germany using the same process of Injection Blow moulding that is synonymous with Tom Dixon’s polycarbonate shades. This process results in a structure that is both lightweight and durable. The metallic finish of Gold or Silver is achieved through a vacuum metallisation process, where a thin layer of metal is deposited on the inside of the shade.
The Whirl Collection is designed to dazzle and is as ornamental off as it is when switched on. When illuminated, the spiralled shade transforms light from within, creating a mesmerising play of light and shadows. The coloured shade softens light into a cosy and welcoming glow, perfect for creating a calming ambience. Install the Whirl Collection throughout your home for a stunning visual display that will add an ornamental touch to any room.
