At Euroluce, during Milan Design Week in April, Tom Dixon's Research Design Studio (RDS) presented new extraordinary collections celebrating CHOICE.
These new collections launched at Euroluce all reflect the studio’s theme this year of CHOICE. Tom says, “This year we want more. Much, much more. More colour, more variations, more unexpected combinations in floor lamps and chandeliers, table tops and textiles to give our design aficionados a deeper wider palette of opportunity to help build perfect interiors. More flexibility in where we can illuminate and how we design, so that’s why we call this year CHOICE.
The essential skill in the construction of special spaces requires judicial choices. So, we worked and worked to open up the collection to this unexpectedly vast series of possibilities.”
New collections shown for the first time included the new PUFF pendants and chandeliers, new PORTABLES inspired by the iconic Melt, Bell and Stone designs, and new CONE floor, table and portable light.
Featured also were the best-selling upholstery pieces Fat and Wingback, now available in more Kvadrat textile ranges in hundreds of colours.
NEW UPHOLSTERY
Tom Dixon’s furniture icons, Fat and Wingback now come upholstered in more of the Kvadrat textile ranges, spanning six collections in hundreds of different colours, 265 in fact. From vibrant piece-dyed woollen textiles to sumptuous stretch velvet, there is a Fat or Wingback available for every room, every décor and every occasion.
PUFF PENDANT & CHANDELIER
Inspired by inflatable geometry, PUFF is an intricate polyhedral object made of 30 metal panels, arrayed to form the rigid structure of a 450mm diameter lamp. “The flat metal diamond shapes are expanded and ballooned as though they have been inflated thanks to the cunning incised pattern that allows a soft curve to be introduced and light to be emitted”, Tom explains.
The etched, and perforated panels of PUFF create small but highly reflective facets that disperse myriad internal reflections making the inside akin to a shimmering inverted disco ball. PUFF is a true statement light set to act as a focal point in any environment. Like all Tom Dixon’s most-recognisable designs, PUFF has the instant power to transform and elevate any space. PUFF is available as a pendant, and as a small or mega chandelier, in both brass and stainless steel.
PORTABLE LIGHTS
This brand-new category of lights: the PORTABLES are poised to become a must-have across the world. This new series of rechargeable lights are super expressive, skillfully engineered and highly compact in size. The new collection includes Melt, Stone and Bell.
PORTABLES are like little companions paving the way to illuminate traditionally challenging spaces both indoors and outdoors.
Tom says, “No longer do we want to be tethered to a fixed desk or power outlet. Increasingly we want our light to move with us – thankfully the magic of technology has come to the rescue with powerful batteries, and how energy light sources combined to allow us to illuminate wherever we choose with complete adaptability – and it’s for this reason we have loved working on our PORTABLES series.”
CONE
A brand-new lamp base that can be mixed and matched with 28 of Tom Dixon light shades including Melt and Mirror Ball.
About this series, Tom explains: “There is a reason that we keep coming back to simple geometries – these basic shapes feel right because they are the most reduced possibility for a given job, and this is particularly evident with our new series of conical lamp bases CONE...."
PUFF, CONE, & THE PORTABLES will be available in Australia later in 2023.
