Writing an introduction to the designs of Tom Dixon seems a bit obsolete – after all, he is a widely celebrated interior design superstar. He designed products from lighting to furniture, tableware through to candelabras. Tom Dixon's designs are instantly recognisable for their sculptural qualities and engineered materiality. And they'll grace your home with industrialised lux.

Tom Dixon is a restless innovator who works mainly in lighting, accessories and furniture. From his departure point in the early eighties welding salvaged steel into radical furniture, he has constantly reinvented himself through a series of different design lives – working with luxury Italian goods with Cappellini, Creative Director at Habitat and Artek, creating Plastics company Eurolounge and finally instigating his own eponymous brand in 2002 to rethink the product designer’s relationship with industry.

The latest chapter of Tom’s design journey began in 2002 when he left corporate life to create his own eponymous brand as a platform for a series of new adventures in the design of products and interiors.

15 years on, Tom Dixon is now a widely celebrated global force in interior design with his own hubs in New York, Hong Kong SAR, China, London, Los Angeles and Tokyo. His 600 products range from lighting to furniture, from tableware through to fragrance. They are instantly recognisable for their sculptural qualities and engineered materiality.
