Description
Overview
The Melt Mini Pendant is a distorted light fixture with a matching ceiling rose, product code MES04BR-PUSM2, in Bronze Polished Polycarbonate. Switched off, its shade reads as a mirror; lit, it turns translucent.
Construction
The polycarbonate shade is blow-moulded and carries a vacuum-metallised finish; the finishing process is semi-metallised and plated, and the clear cable is 98 cm long. Melt is made in Germany.
Specifications
- Shade: polycarbonate; finish mirrored
- Light: 3000K, CRI over 90, 800 lm; included 6W LED
- Electrical: 100-120V, 50-60Hz; dimmable on mains (leading and trailing edge)
Story
An optical transformation
The Melt collection features an avant-garde design with a mesmerising optical change. A hyper-reflective surface is seen with the light off; with the light on, the shade takes on the depth of hot-blown glass.
Collaboration
The Melt lights are a collaboration between Front and Tom Dixon, and this Mini is the small size of the collection.
