LIVE FROM NEW YORK - Tom Dixon

New York May 13th – Tom Dixon.   After a successful showing in Milan, British designer, Tom Dixon showed his collection at ABC Carpet and Home. “I’m in New York because you can’t miss New York, it’s kind of a ball game it’s changing and it’s ready for more…” He explained.

Tom Dixon – Void Light.   The Void Light was designed by Tom Dixon with just one thing in mind: creating the best quality light possible.  The innovation lies in the form of the shade.  The spun double walls reflect and soften light emitted from a concealed halogen bulb.

Offcut Bench.  The Offcut Bench was designed and produced by Tom Dixon.   This bench is an evolution of the Offcut method of manufacture, first introduced by Tom Dixon with the Offcut Stool.  The bench like the stool before it is constructed from waste generated by standard methods of wooden furniture manufacture.   Its rounded top makes good use of these curved and irregular pieces of discarded wood (called waney edges), creating a new product from what was once considered rubbish.  Further design innovations include a method of construction that requires neither glue nor screws: it uses wooden pegs instead, enabling the bench to be pieced together quickly and easily.  The Offcut Bench is a flat-pack product making it easy to distribute, completing its credentials as an entirely functional and supremely utilitarian product.

Zona Tortona. Tom Dixon’s Copper Shade lamps. Tom explains about his use with metals in his review “It’s the modern-day equivalent of frontier fever. Metal is the material of choice not only for fashion, interiors and design denizens, but with the ethically minded too - not to mention stock market traders. Covering yourself, and your home, in the latest glistening metallic hue is fashionable, investing in metal and debating the return of gold standard is current, metal is at the foremost of topics concerning sustainable power and housing……”
