London Design Festival – Tom Dixon – Harvest Party


 
London Design Festival – Tom Dixon – Harvest Party. The London Design Festival coincided with the autumn equinox. To celebrate, the gates of Tom Dixon’s headquarters, The Dock were open for a generous and joyful festival of the homemade, where he welcomed old and new friends, collaborators, colleagues to share some of his latest ideas in local and global design, craftsmanship, drink and music.


 “A time when we rejoice the bounty of the earth and all it has to offer.” 
Tom’s words!..

Tom Dixon X Goldfinger Factory
Trellick
Tom Dixon got behind the Goldfinger Factory by designing an exclusive product line, called Trellick, named after the building in which the Goldfinger Factory is situated. Coalescing traditional carpentry with cutting-edge fabrication techniques, the range has a positive social impact, an exceptional story;  each piece is made by artisans and trainees from the local community. What’s more, all of the off-cuts have been used in innovative ways to create more products such as picture frames thereby minimizing their contribution to the problem of waste.
