Alloy and Stone

Alloy and Stone

New Materialism scent from Tom Dixon.

The aluminium and the stone, the wood and the glass, the wax, the iron and brass all come to life with new shapes, new smells and new functions.

Immerse yourself in an adventure into materials with our new scent families. We have two new offerings launching this September, as part of our Materialism range: ALLOY and STONE. As well as extensions to our existing and hugely popular QUARTZ and OIL scent families. Shop the new scent collection now.

 

"For us, the design process is multidimensional and it could start anywhere, with an inspiration, a formal brief or a serious problem to solve. But pretty soon you have to get down to the fundamentals, and the first step is to consider your materials. The success and desirability of the product is inextricably tied in to the substance that forms it, and a great deal of our success comes from the materials with which it is made. But more than that, the mutation of the raw material into an object of desire or an artefact of function is the real alchemy of a designer." – Tom Dixon
 

First impressions count

Often, the most potent first impression and subsequent memory of a space can be its smell. In fact, there are a series of intangibles that can be just as important as the usual interior-design armory of colour, luminosity, shape and comfort. That's why we are purveyors of scent and continue to expand and explore the aromatic world of fragrance. 

Alloy Scent Materialism Inspiration

STONE

The heavy, generous and deep green forest marble turned by hand in India is the material of choice for the new STONE scent range.

Every rocky, rounded heavyweight container has a unique pattern and colour due to the particularities of each individual block of marble. This forms the optimum container for the dry exotic fig and sandalwood essence released by the wax and oil.

Using marble

Just to think of the millions of years, the unimaginable pressures and the heat involved in the creation of these beautiful rocks. The hard, cold surface which bears a unique fingerprint has transfixed architects, sculptors and designers for millennia.

Once you've enjoyed the candle and the wax has been exhausted you can reuse the vessel as tea light holder, plant pot or storage container.

New Tom Dixon Alloy Scent Materialism family

ALLOY

The mutation of raw material into an object of desire or an artefact of function is the real alchemy of a designer.

The clean and light ALLOY family is the epitome of this process – the precious wax, a contemporary fusion of amber and metal scent, encased in the raw aluminium vessel.

Inspired by materials

Metals are important to us and with a few basic tools, they are surprisingly malleable, joinable and shapeable. We have chosen aluminium to contain this range of light aromas. The machine engineered ends contrast the raw, sand cast, textures of the main body.

Tom Dixon new ALLOY Candle | Scent Materialism

Burn time and contents

The ALLOY family is a new addition to the Materialism Scent range. The large and medium candles contain 10% fragrance and made from 50% soy and are fully encased in the ALLOY vessel with 60 and 40-hour burn-times respectively.

The pillar candle has 5% fragrance and sits on the chunky ALLOY plate with a 70-hour burn-time. The diffuser has a 12-week lifecycle and contains 15% fragrance.

Once the candle has burnt out, the scent aromatically enjoyed and the wax exhausted, the vessel lives on. We’ve seen our previous containers reused as a tea light holder, vase, plant pot or storage container.

The ALLOY candles are available now on tomdixon.net, in our Tom Dixon shops and via some of our trusted retailers.
