Synopsis

Furniture designer Tom Dixon aims to extend the use of industrial design and how it can be adapted in the home. This book shows each room in the home in at least two different ways, with a "create the look" approach that shows how industrial design can bring with it an aesthetic of colour and fun as well as high quality. Key consumer concerns such as multi-functional design, recycling and an emphasis on mobility, are addressed throughout. A comprehensive sources section is designed to help the reader access the products shown, with products to suit all budgets.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Designer, manufacturer, hard-headed business man, visionary thinker, engager and charismatic speaker, O.B.E., sardonic, amusingly off message - the enfant terrible of the design industry, Tom Dixon is a self-educated maverick whose only qualification is a one-day course in plastic bumper repair. These welding skills were soon put to work as Dixon explored the decorative and structural potential of recycled materials and industrial scrap. As Dixon's international reputation grew, he was approached by Italian furniture design company, Cappellini who worked to put some of his designs into major production. The "S" chair made Tom Dixon's name and now has a permanent place in the Museum of Modern Art, New York. Tom was Creative Director of Habitat, and largely credited for turning round their reputation. He designed Habitat's flagship store on Regent Street and still consults for them as non-exec Creative Director. Dixon has now taken ownership of the Finnish furniture brand Artek founded by Alvar Alto. Artek has played a very important role in design history and Finnish national life.
