Story
Mirror to glass
Switched off, the shade looks mirrored; lit, it has a molten, glowing effect and a semi-transparent, atmospheric glow.
Dichroic diffuser
Sunglass lenses inspired the dichroic diffuser, which uses multi-layered PVD plating to bounce an array of mixed colours throughout the shade. It is made in Germany with high-tech manufacturing.
