Tom DIXON

Tom Dixon is one of the most innovative designers of his generation, a true avant-gardist. Born in 1959 and of British origin, he spent many years as artistic director at Habitat, before setting up his own publishing house in 2002. His originality made him famous around the world for his futuristic designs, including the iconic S-Chair. Buckingham Palace awarded him the Order of the British Empire for services to design in 2001. Tom Dixon is passionate about working with materials and technical innovations. He loves working with raw materials and modernising and refining them for our interiors. This atypical designer is constantly reinventing himself with designs that are instantly recognisable, both technically and sculpturally. Among the most emblematic are the Beat, Melt, Copper and Void collections of lights, most often made from copper, brass, steel or blown glass. Voted Designer of the Year in 2014 at Maison & Objet in Paris, his work is on permanent display at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, MoMa in New York and the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris. Tom Dixon brings together collections of furniture, accessories and lighting, and is now represented in 90 countries, with hubs in London, Milan, Hong Kong, Los Angeles, Tokyo and New York. In 2013 Tom Dixon also took a step into the world of fashion by collaborating with the famous sportswear brand Adidas.
