Milan 2010: Lighting made of double-walled spun metal will be among the new products to be launched by British designer Tom Dixon in Milan this April.

Other new pieces will include a wooden cafe chair called Peg and a bench made of the rough timber that industry normally discards, which is a continuation of the Offcut series (see our earlier story).

The collection will be called Industry and presented at Superstudio Piu in Zona Tortona, where the Tom Dixon team will be assembling digitally-manufactured brass lamps on the stand.

Milan 2010 INDUSTRY - FLASH FACTORY
Stand 12, Superstudio Piu Via Tortona, 27, Milan

British lighting and furniture company TOM DIXON launches a new collection entitled INDUSTRY at Super Studio Più as part of Milan Design Week 2010.

What would normally be a static trade show booth will be transformed into a FLASH FACTORY where the process of industrial production will be brought directly to the customer. A digitally manufactured brass lamp will be available either flat-packed to the size of an envelope or assembled on site by the Tom Dixon team. The installation aims to demonstrate new found power of the designer, as a digital manufacturer, able to access world markets with fresh products in previously unimaginable time scales.

New products include Void, a mysterious lighting object with a double wall spun construction available in solid copper , brass or stainless steel.

Peg, a supremely adaptable, unusually efficient solid wood stackable café chair. The long awaited return of Jack, the polyethylene ‘sitting, stacking, lighting thing’ now back in its natural home with the motto: it’s back -it also comes in black and it stacks. Offcut Bench, using the rough part of a log which is typically discarded in wood production to give each piece unique character, it is flat packed and can be assembled without any additional screws or glue.
