An eye-catching design perfect for creating a focal point within the home, the Tom Dixon Fan Dining Chair is both dramatic and sculptural. A contemporary take on a classic piece, the chair injects style and character whilst remaining timeless and practical, making it suitable for a variety of purposes, whether used around a dining table, at a desk or as an occasional side chair.
The Fan Dining Chair is comprised of machined wooden spindles that wrap around the seat, connecting it to the base of the chair. The spacing of each spindle reacts with light in a way that creates unique forms and shapes through refraction, resulting in dazzling shadows and distorted beams of light. Further adding to the appeal of this otherwise intriguing seating solution.
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.
