TOM DIXON - COPPER FLOOR

TOM DIXON - COPPER FLOOR

Born from a fascination with the hi-tech process of vacuum metallisation, commonly used in producing sunglasses and space helmet visors. A polycarbonate ball is placed in a vacuum chamber, the air is sucked out, an immense electrical charge vaporizes a small strip of copper foil into a mist of particles that settle on the inside of the shade coating it with a layer between 0.01 and 0.02 micrometres thick.
