Established in 2002, Tom Dixon
is a British luxury design brand
which is represented in 90 countries.
Specialising in lighting, furniture and
accessories, Tom Dixon has hubs in
London, Milan, Cologne, Hong Kong,
New York, Tokyo, Hangzhou, Beijing
and Shanghai. With an aesthetic
that is intrinsically inspired by the
brand’s British roots, the products
are internationally recognised and
appreciated for their pioneering
use of materials and techniques.
Founder and eponymous Creative
Director Tom Dixon is a restless
innovator who rose to prominence
in the mid-1980s as a maverick,
untrained designer with a line in
welded salvage furniture. While
working with the Italian giant
Cappellini, he designed the widely
acclaimed ‘S’ Chair. In the late 90s,
Tom became Creative Director at
Habitat and rejuvenated the brand
while maintaining Terence Conran’s
vision of enriching everyday life
through simple, modern design.
In 2001, Tom was awarded an OBE
by Her Majesty the Queen for his
services to British design. In 2014,
he won ‘Designer of The Year’ at
Maison & Objet, Paris and in 2019,
was awarded the prestigious London
Design Medal at the British Land
Celebration of Design Awards.
Tom is one of the industry’s most
feted British designers and is
internationally heralded as a
significantly original talent.
Instantly recognisable designs
such as Beat, Melt, S-Chair
and Wingback gained broader
recognition and have been acquired
by the world’s most famous museums
including the Victoria & Albert
Museum, London; MOMA, New York;
and the Centre Pompidou, Paris.
Some of the latest additions to
the brand’s range including Spring
pendant and Fat chair are quickly
gaining momentum and reiterate
Tom’s status and significance in
the design world.
