Tom Dixon at London Craft Week

8 - 12 May 2019

Ahead of Tom Dixon’s Design Research Studio and IKEA’s latest collaboration for Chelsea Flower Show 2019, we will host a series of workshops and activities to inform and inspire new ways of using plants at our showroom in Coal Drops Yard.

Craft is at the heart of our design, prototypes, and products. Nearly all of our extraordinary objects are either conceived or created by hand.

 

It’s true we have a fascination for manufacturing and heavy industry and enjoy our experiments in precision digitalised machinery. But we continuously return to the physical interaction between designer and material to solve problems and create interesting interventions.

 

For London Craft Week, we highlight some of our favourite products that have artisanal qualities and explore the skills and craftsmanship involved.

The Factory

Within our London flagship store we have dedicated a space, The Factory, which serves as a pre-production small batch manufacturing workshop where ideas can be tested out and prototypes created. Since launching, we have held Etch light making workshops, ceramics workshops, electronics assembly lines, a wreath making class with Wild At Heart and now a terrarium class hosted by The Botanical Boys. The workshops are designed to encourage the public to participate in the joys of craft, construction, fabrication and assembly.

 

Botanical Boys

The Botanical Boys will be taking over the Factory during LCW with a ‘Grow’ workshop, which involves terrarium-making to inspire new ways of using plants. Spaces are limited, for more information please visit https://www.londoncraftweek.com/events/tom-dixon-grow#sthash.VMt0RiJo.dpbs
