Design by Tom Dixon.

The Copper Shade highlights the dynamic and flexible properties of using copper. Pure copper is used as a vacuum metallised film, only microns thick, on the interior of each sphere, creating an enriched and softened light source.

The Copper Shade brings a sculptural sophistication to any interior, either alone or grouped as a dramatic chandelier cluster.

The Copper Shade pendant is equipped with 98" of clear cable, and a black ceiling canopy. 17.7"D. Uses 1 X 60W 120V medium base G30 globe lamp (included).

Tom Dixon

Born in Sfax, Tunisia in 1959, to a French/Latvian mother and an English father, Dixon moved to England aged four and spent his school years in London.

It wasn't long before Dixon's sculptural objects began to get recognition and commissions and exhibitions followed. This rapid increase in demand required a more plentiful and reliable source of materials. He turned his attention to ready-made forms and technology to feed his increased interest in industrial techniques and batch production.

As Dixon's international reputation grew, he was approached by Italian furniture design company, Cappellini. He began to be taken seriously on the international stage as Cappellini worked to put some of his designs into major production.

Tom Dixon's appointment as Head of the UK design studio at the furniture retailer Habitat in 1998 was considered controversial. He came from a self-employed background instead of a corporate culture and was never considered "establishment".Dixon led the company through its biggest makeover and quickly won recognition by becoming Head of International Design in 1999 and Creative Director in 2001.

"Honestly, I can't remember ever holding an ambition to be a designer. It just slowly came over me as I rejected notions of being an artist or, a craftsman. Even today I prefer the idea of being an industrialist."
