These Tom Dixon Void Lamps reference the 2010 Vancouver [Olympic medals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/milanocortina-medals), and their design was inspired by vacuum flasks. The Olympics provided so much inspiration that it's only natural that a designer would use some aspect of the games as a muse.

Solid sheets of brass (representing gold), copper (bronze) and stainless steel (silver) were pressed and spun to create this Olympic-inspired illumination. With their hand-polished reflective lacquered surface, these Tom Dixon Void Lamps are sure to make any room a winner.
