Boasting a construction that is both simple and ingenious, the 'S' Chair is an instantly recognisable piece of modern design. Originally created in Dixon's 80's London workshop, the sculptural chair is part functional furniture piece, part artisanal object, re-engineered to be more comfortable and ergonomically active than ever. A moulded form that uses both hard and soft elements, the 'S' chair combines premium kvadrat upholstery with a steering-wheel inspired cast iron base. A true icon, the Tom Dixon 'S' Chair is perfect for creating a statement, whether used around a dining table or as an occasional side chair.
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.
