Pressed Glass Tube / Bowl / Lens Tom Dixon

A series of shades made in industrial plants more commonly used to manufacture architectural products including car head lamps or glass insulators. Each shade in the Pressed Glass collection is created by compressing molten glass into a hollow mould which is then annealed in a kiln to form a robust object. The production process does not allow for intervention, and so small variations such as tiny air bubbles often occur within the finished product.
