The brand

Tom Dixon

Tom Dixon was founded in London in 2002 by the self-taught British designer of the same name — a former bass player and welder who fell into design via the back door of a junkyard. Working with salvaged metal in a south London studio in the 1980s, his welded chairs caught the eye of Italian giant Cappellini, and the S Chair (now in the MoMA collection) made his name. After a decade rejuvenating Habitat under Terence Conran, Dixon launched his own brand to follow his instincts wherever they led. The result, two decades on, is a global house of furniture, lighting and objects — known for an unmistakable material confidence in copper, brass, marble and stone — operating from a former coal yard in King's Cross.
