Replica Mirror Ball Stand

Design by Tom Dixon.

Blown like bubble gum into a mould, these plastic spheres are metalized internally to give a mirrored finish. This internal metallic design focuses the brightness from the lamp, projecting a soft, broad beam of light. The external chrome surface has the added benefit of making the exterior highly reflective providing further character to an interior space. Mirror Ball is formed using a technically advanced process of vacuum metallisation. The process involves vaporizing a small amount of pure metal at a very high temperature and then sucking it on to a surface by applying an electrical charge. Extremely small holes can appear at times within the metal coating due to environmental conditions.
