Alloy is a woody fragrance, created exclusively for Tom Dixon, blending vibrant wood notes with cool metallic facets. Held in a gravity cast aluminium vessel, made from a steel mould, the lid is cut from an aluminium rod and Tom Dixon branding is embossed as part of the mould. Tom Dixon candles are made in the UK from 50% natural ingredients (50% natural soy, 50% paraffin wax) and contain 10% fragrance - a much higher level compared to the standard 1-3%, meaning the scent is stronger and will last longer.
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.
