Tom Dixon Gold Mirror Ball

Every once in a while someone comes up with not only a new manufacturing process but also the perfect new product to demonstrate it, the best selling Mirror Ball by Tom Dixon is such a product. The original idea was to emulate a polished chrome sphere shade and to achieve the desired mirror surface a thin layer of pure metal was exploded onto the inner surface of a polycarbonate globe. The result however was slightly unexpected as the new technique created a surface of such extraordinary reflectivity that it surpassed even the most polished of metals. The Mirror Ball reflects everything around it with incredible clarity and being polycarbonate is very light and can be hung from non structural ceilings or in spectacular groupings. Now available in gold in 25, 40 and 50 cm diameters the Mirror Ball Gold is a light that looks as good in the daytime as it does in the evening and is guaranteed to always make the most of its surroundings. (Please note: When switched on tiny pin holes may be visible in the metal surface).
