Copper Shade in the kitchen

10.20.2009 · Posted in Kitchens, Random thoughts

This Copper Shade light by Tom Dixon just seems to be popping up in every kitchen I look at this last couple of weeks. First, and most unexpectedly, in this Swedish Arts & Crafts Villa:

The Kitchen

Almost Traditional Kitchen

I can understand the attraction – it is contemporary, it’s retro, it’s warm, and with its reflective surface it’s as good as a mirror at bouncing light around and making the space seem bigger and lighter.

The Copper Shade is actually polycarbonate with a microns thick coating of real copper. You can buy it here in the US for a smidge under $500.  I think it works really well as an accent and a focal point – one is brilliant, but perhaps three is a little overpowering?
