Probably best known for his passion for and long-term experience with metal \u2013 often working with iron, steel, copper and brass.\u00a0Architonic\u00a0<\/a>was curious to find out which other materials Tom Dixon<\/a> likes to work with. Exhibiting at Maison et Objet Paris 2015<\/a>, you may find Tom Dixon at Hall 7 \u2013 Stand A37.<\/p>\n

Continuously diving into new worlds and unusual experiences, Tom Dixon<\/a> likes to design from a naive, inexperienced perspective. His eponymous brand \u2013 a British design and manufacturing company of lighting and furniture, established in 2002 \u2013 shows that Dixon is a designer who completely controls the chain, from raw material to the client. In a preview for Maison et Objet Paris 2015, \u00a0Architonic caught up with the British designer recently to ask him which he would pick if he had to chose just one material for the next three years.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Material<\/a><\/p>\n

Tom Dixon: \u2018I would work with nanotechnology. But I\u2019m not really bothered. I mean, I\u2019m quite happy to work with any material. I have lot of obsessions, which last for a year or two. I\u2019m trying to think of what material I could not do without. That\u2019s not fair to restrict me to a single material, is it? I\u2019m interested in glass at the moment, although I wouldn\u2019t like to be restricted to just doing that, but I could happily work for three years on glass and not get the end of it. I am also very interested in textiles, because I\u2019ve never been very good at textiles, so maybe I have a soft phase coming on.\u2019 He smiles.<\/div>\n

Architonic: Is there any material that you could easily do without?<\/p>\n

\u2018No. I love playing with all kinds of materials, so it\u2019s really not fair to remove one from my palette. For maybe eight years, when I started, I was only doing metal \u2013 that was good fun. I could work for three years quite happily with plastic or with straw or wood, thread.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
