Tom Dixon to launch "TouchySmellyFeelyNoisyTasty" hub during London Design Festival in September

Between September 14 and 22 2019, one of London's foremost shopping and cultural destinations at the regenerated King’s Cross will be an official London Design Festival (LDF) Design District and is set to be one of the top destinations during the festival with an array of exciting events and activities open to the public.

British designer Tom Dixon, whose headquarters is in the distinctive Coal Office of King's Cross (shown above), will be introducing what he calls "TouchySmellyFeelyNoisyTasty" as he turns his hub into a multi-sensory lab with a series of talks, workshops, events and parties taking place in the shop, factory, restaurant and gallery.  While sight is not included in his headline, it is a sense that is implicated through the design of the products that will surely enrich our life experiences.

Tom Dixon briefing members of the press at his headquarters in July, introducing his new range of fragrances.
The scents have been crated to capture the essence of travelling, trading,
and the nostalgic past within the future of British life.

Tom Dixon will be launching new products to his vast range of interior designs, among them two new fragrances: Underground and Alchemy, the latest additions to the bestselling Eclectic collection, a range of fragrance started a few years ago structured around the exotic smells of London, Royalty and Orientalist.  

This year, they refresh the vessel form with an elegant, new slim "waisted" metal container formed of copper, nickel and brass, and have added two more refined perfumes under the names of Underground and Alchemy.

The range will be on display in the ‘Perfumery’ Arch in September. 

The candles will be available in a range of new sizes, including mini ones in a gift set. 

A talk and workshop led by Tom Dixon's fragrance partner, International Flavors & Fragrances, will take place in the Perfumery and will offer an insight into the processes behind creating the new scents and the inspiration behind the ingredients.

‘TouchySmellyFeelyNoisyTasty’ will take place from the 14th – 22nd September at the Coal Office and will be open to the public with free entry. Private events will be by-invitation only.
