A collection of coiled vessel’s crafted using industrially compressed glass, the Press series boasts an incredibly stylish and durable form, engineered to catch and refract beams of light. Innovatively manufactured by dropping globule’s of molten glass at 1,200 degrees centigrade into two or three-part iron moulds, Press’ rippled surface distributes a beautifully patterned reflection into the space around it. The Press Bowl is part of a wider collection of industrially pressed vessels from Tom Dixon.
British designer Tom Dixon rose to prominence in the mid 1980s as “the talented untrained designer with a line in welded salvage furniture.” By the end of the 1980s, he was designing contemporary chairs for Italian design brands like Cappellini before creating his own design company, ‘Eurolounge’, to make and sell his work.
2002 marked a new phase in Tom Dixon’s career with the launch of his eponymous design company which designs and manufactures a wide range of contemporary lighting and furniture inspired by the unique heritage, innovation and the robust, no nonsense engineering of British industry. Tom Dixon’s most iconic designs include the space helmet inspired Mirror Ball Pendant Light, Copper Shade, hand beaten Beat Lights and the Wingback Chair.
Tom Dixon was awarded an OBE in 2001 while one of his most recent accolades includes winning Designer of the Year 2008 from Architektur and Wohnen Magazine.
