INDUSTRY
Friday 25 September 4-5.30pm
Tom Dixon in conversation with Max Fraser
Tom Dixon (OBE), an internationally renowned British Designer, Creative Director of eponymous brand Tom Dixon and founder of Design Research Studio, will discuss the importance of the changing landscape of industrial manufacture to design.
In 2010 Dixon authored and self-published a book, Industry, which proposed alternative policies of manufacture, distribution and consumption of design. Dixon has experimented with forms of 'flash' or pop-up factories that make a spectacle of the industrial process of laser cutting, stamping and etching. His interiors and architectural studio recently completed his first ever hotel project, a redesign of Sea Containers House on the Thames in London.
