Void Pendant - Suspension - Tom Dixon

The Void lamps reference the Olympic medals with three metallic finishes: brass, copper and polished stainless steel. Inspired by vacuum flasks, these mysterious lighting objects conceal a powerful halogen bulb that concentrates the light to create a soft directional beam. Solid metal sheets are pressed, spun and braised to form a double wall shade. They are hand polished to create a mirror surface which is lacquered to maintain a high gloss finish. Void makes use of existing techniques and regular fittings - the innovation lies in the undulating form of the shade.
