What I like about Tom Dixon is that he creates modern spaces that break the vicious cycle of repetition. Lately, it seems like every contemporary designer is recreating the same room (over and over again). If you close your eyes, I know that you'll see it... a couple Barcelona chairs, pendant lamp, zebra rug, and boring artisan tchotchkes. Don't get me wrong, I like a good homage, but I also believe that designers can get lazy when they look to the past instead of creating the future (especially in modern design).
Tom's designs reflect what modern is today...respectful of the past & inspired by the future.
In July 2007, Tom Dixon launched a US division of the Brit-based company.
Tom Dixon says, "For us, the United States is really the final frontier ...a mysterious and exciting continent with a rediscovered interest in contemporary design - we feel the time is now right for an innovative British brand to feel relevant and welcome here."
