Tom Dixon dropped out of Chelsea School of Art to play bass in the band “Funkapolitan” before teaching himself welding and producing furniture. He rose to prominence in the 1980s with a line in welded salvage furniture and set up “Space” as a creative think-tank and shop front for himself and other designers. Tom worked for Cappellini and became Creative Director for Habitat. He was awarded an OBE in 2000. Tom’s works feature in permanent collections across the globe – including the V&A and MOMA New York. Since founding his eponymous design company in 2002, Tom’s work has become even more prominent with such iconic designs as Mirror Ball and Wingback Chair winning numerous awards.
