Tom Dixon Pendant White Metal. Dimensions: Ø 19 cm x H 42 cm – Cable: L
250 cm max. – Ceiling rose: Ø 12.4 cm. Created by British designer Tom
Dixon, the Beat lighting collection has become a design classic. In 2012, Tom
Dixon got involved in an initiative launched in the city of Jaipur in India to
create alternative solutions to the rapid disappearance of artisans and their
know-how. The Beat lights were born from this project: they’re handcrafted by
renowned artisans in Moradabad, northern India. The Beat collection uses
ancestral traditional techniques of brasswork, making it possible to keep part
of this craftsmanship alive in a new context. The interior of each piece bears
the marks of its manufacture and spun, braised and hand-beaten brass. Each piece
is unique and represents the testament of a very time-consuming process dating
back several centuries: it can take up to 4 days to create a single light. Each
piece bears the stamp of the craftsman who created it. The Beat pendant series
comes in different distinct shapes inspired by the sculptural simplicity of
traditional Indian water containers. The interior of the lampshades has a
textured, beaten brass finish that optimally refracts and reflects the light for
efficient, warm lighting. Beat pendants emit quality light. The glossy white
exterior contrasts nicely with the gold interior. More energy-efficient, Beat
pendants now come with an integrated LED light source. This LED module offers
longer life expectancy, better energy efficiency and improved performance,
including the ability to dim and control the light. This integrated LED module
is fully serviceable and replacement components are available if needed.
