In 2006, Tom Dixon worked with Bombay Sapphire to create the longest sofa in the world, the “Bombay Sapphire Stretch” to launch Milan Salone del Mobile. At 48 metres long the installation was designed for the arrivals lounge at Malpensa airport, Milan. The Bombay Sapphire Stretch project was first launched in London’s Trafalgar Square during the London Design Festival in 2005 and was conceived in conjunction with Tom Dixon’s new Rubber Band Chair also launched at the Festival. An extraordinary and innovative public seating installation, the Bombay Sapphire Stretch was 75-metres long and constructed from 12,000 super size rubber bands. In 2009 Design Research Studio, under the creative direction of Tom Dixon designed a temporary bar “Bombay Sapphire Dusk Bar” at Somerset House, London open to the public for six months. A maze of panels were created using blue extruded polycarbonate, Bombay Sapphire’s signature colour. Each panel offered an individual room, and at night the structures glowed from an interior light installation
