Tom Dixon

After being introduced to welding in the 1980s, Tom Dixon spent a year crafting over 100 chairs to fine-tune his skills in the creation of physical design objects. Channelling his ability and passion, Tom Dixon then launched the eponymous brand in 2002; the debut S-chair was a piece with multiple interpretations, demonstrating a keen eye for structural integrity and a modernist vision. With a background of experience as the Head of Design and Creative Director at a household retail company, the brand's founder also received an Order of the British Empire for his services to Innovation and Design. Ranging from lighting and tables to textiles and candles, the design company offers a wide collection for the home characterised by clean lines, unique shapes and a contemporary aesthetic.
