Beat Lights - Tom Dixon

The water carrying vessels that are still carried on heads all over India provided the first inspiration for this series of pendant lights. The Beat Light is made from hand beaten brass, using rapidly vanishing skills from Indian master craftsmen.



New in 2011, the Tom Dixon Beat Lights are now available in white (it was already available in a black patina finish). The exterior is lacquered in a gloss white contrasting with the warm golden interior. Available in four different sizes, Wide, Fat, Tall and Stout the Beat Light can be used in many different configurations, as a group using all three designs or using a stand alone design.


Available in 4 shapes: Beat Shade – Wide, Height: 16cm, Width: 36cm Beat Shade – Fat, Height: 30cm, Width: 24cm Beat Shade – Tall, Height: 36cm, Width: 19cm Beat Shade - Stout, Height 50cm, Width 52cm

Howdy Owl - MENU

What is hidden behind the owl’s deep gaze? Is it wisdom? Mystery, history, magic? Or simple curiously, as in the American prairie owl, Howdy Owl?


The Norwegian designers Stokke Austad and Andreas Engesvik have taken inspiration from mythology and the owl’s importance as a visual symbol. They have simplified and stylised the human-like expression into decorative wood sculpture with no other function than to serve as an attractive and unique modern icon that fascinates and invites interpretation. Available in three sizes.



Design: Andreas Engesvik (NO) & StokkeAustad (NO)
