Dimensions: 73 x 73 x 100cm high | 17kg
Material: steel frame + modelled plywood base
Wingback is Tom Dixon's much appreciated armchair with its expressive sweeping curves that act as a sculptural intervention. This armchair is upholstered using Kvadrat's Gentle 2 wool fabric and features black oak legs. The wings provide convenient acoustic protection for mobile phone use and a headrest for quick snoozes.
Wingback was inspired by traditional 17th century Wingback and balloon-back archetypes, and was developed for Shoreditch House Members Club. Its expressive sweeping curves allows designers to specify Wingback in the centre of spaces as a sculptural intervention rather than merely a piece of seating. The wings provide convenient acoustic protection for mobile phone use and a headrest for quick snoozes.
Kvadrat Gentle 2 fabric
The textile is constructed by knitting loops through a base layer and subsequently shearing the surface. Thanks to a subtly striated surface which derives from the naturally irregular thicknesses of the woollen yarns, Gentle 2 features a rich surface with an elegant shine.
Gentle 2 has a particularly opulent feel as it is laminated on a 2mm PU foam with a polyester scrim backing. This ensures the textile stands out with a voluminous expression that sets it apart from traditional woven velvets.

Tom Dixon is a distinguished British design brand, renowned for its innovative furniture and lighting. The brand's eponymous founder, Tom Dixon, began his foray into design somewhat unconventionally—initially dropping out of art school and playing bass in a band before teaching himself welding and eventually becoming involved in furniture design.
Dixon's career took a pivotal turn in the 1980s when he began crafting furniture from salvaged materials. His work captured the spirit of the times with its raw, industrial aesthetic, distinguishing him from his contemporaries. In 1991, Dixon was appointed head of design at Habitat and later became its creative director, revitalising the brand with his unique designs.
In 2002, he established his own brand, "Tom Dixon," which quickly gained international acclaim.

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.
