Collection Story
Origin
Mirror Ball draws on the engineering daring of space-exploration pioneers, with space helmets and disco balls as further cues. The Mirror Ball 20in Pendant was designed in 2002.
Design Language
Every light is a fully spherical mirrored object that picks up its surroundings. The sphere starts as lightweight clear plastic, blow moulded, and an aluminium film only micro-thin is then laid on by vacuum metallisation, much as in good sunglasses. Shades are tough polycarbonate; parts are electroplated steel; a ceiling rose to match. Manufacture is in Germany.
Key Pieces
The range includes the 10in, 16in and 20in Pendants, the Round and Linear Pendant Systems and the Floor Chandelier, in silver and gold.
