Tom Dixon’s Big Fat American Tour Is Here

British interior designer Tom Dixon has embarked on the FAT American Tour, a tour of the US and Canada starting this month that will introduce essential pieces from this year’s collection. The collections will be on display in Portland, New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Austin, Seattle, Toronto, and finally Vancouver later this spring.

“All too often, we have shown our newness in America, months or even years after European launches – this time we want to completely reverse the equation and preview our top secret innovations in the New World first,” said Dixon. “These will be the latest objects for 2019 and live prototyping for 2020.”

Each stop along the tour features FAT furniture (the new molded-foam-made upholstery for seating), OPAL lighting (a line of translucent, tinted, while “Opalescent” polycarbonate Tom Dixon globes), as well as parties, talks, and lectures. The showcase is not only aimed at architecture and interior design professionals, but fans and friends alike. Furthermore, Swedish music tech company Teenage Engineering is partnering up with Dixon for the project – so the party aspect of the tour is certainly accounted for.

Check out some of the pieces from the Big Fat American Tour below.

Tom Dixon Unveils Shop at ABC Carpet & Home

Tom Dixon x ABC Carpet & HomeImage: Tom Dixon x ABC Carpet & Home.

British design brand Tom Dixon establishes its contemporary edge with a new shop at ABC Carpet & Home in New York City, its third United States location. With a refurbished 850 square feet, the space combines a striking mixture of materials and soft lime paint to contrast with the harsher stained timber wall, a perfect background to aptly display the visionary furniture. Aiming to expand, the location will not only feature many of the favorites the brand has put forth into the design world, it will also play host to a slew of new products—the SLAB desk, an all purpose work station made from solid Oak, the functionally engineered Boom task light, the TANK whiskey decanter ornamented with hand-painted copper, and the handmade STONE candles with rounded heavy-weight containers. More than just a sales floor, the space will also host private client parties and product launches for society’s craft elite, rounding out a happening scene filled with the best of design.

The Tom Dixon x ABC Carpet & Home collection is available online now.

Adidas Tom Dixon Collaboration Salon di Mobil MOST

Coming Soon: Adidas + Tom Dixon

Adidas Tom Dixon Collaboration Salon di Mobil MOST

We just caught wind of an exciting collaboration between famed British home furnishings designer Tom Dixon and Adidas that will be unveiled at MOST at the Salone di Mobile this April. Details are scant but the first hints at what are to come, after the jump.

From the Adidas team:

Premiering new typologies of bags and apparel, the base of the collection comprises two travel bag typologies – the hard and the soft – an experiment in capsule thinking in which luggage unclasps, unzips and unfolds to reveal multiple layers.

Inside, the bags reveal a complete kit of parts for our week long stay in Italy – neatly, crisply and compactly folded with maximum efficiency to provide a complete wardrobe for every possible occasion.

Sounds like the perfect carry-on bag. Stay tuned for more details.
