Etch Shade by Tom Dixon

Sophie Burton - Friday, April 20, 2012

Luminosity’ is Tom Dixon’s latest exploration into the world of lighting, which he presented in Milan today at MOST, a new and exciting area envisioned by the designer himself. One of his standout pieces is the Etch Shade, a digitally manufactured pendant light etched from stainless steel. Employing an industrial process used to produce electronic parts, the method allows for detailed patterns to be cut directly onto the metal, creating a mass of intricate shadows when lit.
