Jack ist das ursprüngliche „sitzende, stapelbare, leuchtende Ding“, ein preisgekröntes, multifunktionales Objekt, das eines der ersten Experimente von Tom mit Kunststoff war. Dieses ikonische Designobjekt wird durch einen Prozess einer Luftrotationsformgebung hergestellt, wodurch es eine gleichmäßige Wanddicke erhält.
"I'm sure that most designers can see the magic in mathematics and geometry. There is a satisfying completeness and logic to polyhedra, and the more you learn about them the more universal and complex they become. There is a purity about shapes known as platonic solids, and when you learn to recognize them they start to appear in everything – nature, crystals, seed pods, black magic, Islamic architecture, you name it." Tom Dixon
Made by air rotational moulding, with a 5 part tool – the plastic polythene pellets are added into the tool and rotated on a large machine at a high temperature giving even wall thickness.
Jack is just about simple enough to tool up, but complex enough to look like no other roto-moulding. It looks more like a Japanese concrete sea defence or a model of a molecule with a fat and jolly personality.
