The concept behind Tom Dixon's new collection is an exploration of reductionism in design, to find the very essence of an object.

 

The Copper Shade (image left) lamp is as simple as copper plated soap bubbles that just hold a light bulb and focus its beams.

 

 

Dixon said: "What you see here are chairs stripped of all but the minimum structure - the bare bones of seating. Because reductionism does not mean losing character or emotion - rather by concentrating on the dispensable, whether a manufacturing technique, a functional requirement or a material quality, as you reduce and reduce the end result is strangely far from minimal. As you get closer to the core the result is increasingly expressive and bold, closer to the essence of an object."

The Snap light (image left) is reminiscent of snowflakes, with a simple yet ornate folding structure like origami.
