Lustre is the latest discovery in Tom Dixon continued exploration of extraordinary metallic finishes. The iridescent sheen is created by firing the stoneware shades at 1200°C using a top-secret glaze containing minerals and precious metals.
The end result is a striking colour change effect reminiscent of peacock feathers or oil slicks on water.
The handmade process results in a totally unique and unrepeatable finish for each individual object. No two shades look the same as the glaze fixes to the stoneware in an unpredictable way. This produces a wide spectrum of colour across each light, ranging from a pale lime to a deep bottle green. It is this inherent beauty and diversity that Tom Dixon is championing. Each customer owns something different.
The shade reflects and refracts an extraordinary spectrum of colours both internally and when lit from outside. The first stoneware object in Tom Dixon collection, it is available in 4 geometric designs inspired by a collision of Mayan temples and Art Deco constructions.
