Jack is the original ‘sitting, lighting, stacking thing’, an award-winning multifunctional object that was one of Tom’s first experiments with plastic.

"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

More about Jack

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.
