Tom Dixon, Early Pair of Kinetic Gold Leaf Spiral Floor Lamps, UK 1988
By Tom Dixon
Located in New York, NY
Tom Dixon (b. 1959)
An early, highly spirited pair of spiral floor lamps by designer Tom Dixon OBE, in spun steel covered in hand-applied gold leaf. Undulating coils rising out of gilt domed bases that each cradle a hidden bulb, these interactive, sculptural works are intentionally pliable. They’re designed to glimmer and, if desired, sway, projecting helix-like shadows that dance on the ceiling: a choreography of light.
"I got interested in making lights active rather than static," Dixon said of this pivotal work. "It’s hard to pass this lamp without smacking it to make the light dance. This was my first real lamp and sparked an enduring passion for lighting objects."
Inspired by the kinetic sculpture and shadow-play of artists like Alexander Calder, Jean Tinguely, and Ruth Asawa, this raw and buoyant pair of lights is animated by Dixon's ongoing focus on materiality, manufacturing, and form. At the nexus of his early experiments welding found objects into salvage furniture...
