With the new Melt collection Tom Dixon experiments with the technologically advanced field of vacuum metallisation. Melt Mini Light is a distorted lighting globe born from their collaboration with Swedish radical design collective Front and is the little brother of the Melt Light. This unique light is translucent when on and mirror finish when off. An alternative and funky twist on Tom Dixon's Copper and Mirroball lights. Tom Dixon Melt Mini light is also available in copper and gold.
