Story
Opalescent shades
The opal version of the Melt Floor Chandelier is crafted from a custom tinted white opalescent polycarbonate. It holds an ethereal ghostliness in the daylight and at night forms a perfectly illuminated orb.
Engineered in Germany
High-tech manufacturing in Germany produces the lamp, which pairs cutting-edge engineering with organic form to manipulate light and reflection. Seven 6W LED sources light the shades.
