Tom Dixon has a shop; in London; selling “spectacular everyday things”… so naturally I went along to take a look…
Tom Dixon Shop
It’s set within “The Dock“; a design hub housing…… pop-up shops, on-site manufacturing, exhibitions and installations. It features Tom Dixon’s entire collection alongside other design products he’s hand-picked.

And excitingly, during the London Design Festival it also features “factory workers” hand assembling his latest collection “Etch” – a digitally manufactured pendant light and candle holder.
Live assembly line; "Flash Factory"
Here a few of my favourite bits…
Tom Dixon biodegradable bowl
Areaware cushions
Piet Hein Eek table top
Felt pendant lights
And it looks like it’s all going very well so far…
Sold!
