The Slab Ottoman distils Tom Dixon’s appreciation for honest materials into a timeless accent piece, in which generous proportions, softened edges, and expressive textures celebrate the natural beauty of solid oak and vegetable-tanned leather. Designed to age gracefully, it embodies understated luxury with enduring character.
Expertly crafted from sustainably sourced oak, the deeply brushed base reveals the richness of the timber grain beneath your choice of natural or black finish. Topped with premium leather upholstery in Black, Choko Brown or Cognac, each made-to-order combination creates a distinctive piece that complements the British designer’s Slab Lounge Chair, bringing comfort, warmth and refined sophistication to your living room, lounge or executive workspace.
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.
