The designer Tom Dixon (OBE). Born in 1959. Self-taught British Designer. Founder of the design brand “Tom Dixon” and Design Re- search Studio that specialises in high-end concept interiors, large scale installations and architectural design. Museums across the globe have awarded and acquired some of his work, including MoMA, NYC and Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris. With a commitment to innovation and a mission to revive the British furniture industry, he’s inspired by the nation’s unique heritage to create extraordinary products for everyday use. The Industrial Landscape collection London is the departure point for the collection – and for Tom Dixon a whole world of inspiration. Perhaps not the prettiest, nor the most glamorous, but certainly one of the most characterful cities in the world. Gritty backdrops of railways, tunnels, of factories, workshops and warehouses. Materials so prevalent that they make a huge im- pact. Imperfect surfaces and materials make up the crumbling industrial landscape while the massive tidal River Thames splits the city in two, and new reflective glass towers begin to domi- nate the skyline. There’s a kind of beautiful pattern of time on a grimy city that has lived a few lives. As materials break, they are repaired creating a new pattern that has its own aesthetic; deconstructed bricks, patinated metal and the grey muddy water of the Thames. A se- ries of patterns and textures that come straight from the building or the erosion process. The Industrial Landscape collection reinterprets the rough, raw everyday surfaces of the city that are so familiar to Tom Dixon. Each of the seven designs is available as tiles, planks and broad- loom and can be recoloured to meet your requirements. 7
