Tom Dixon launched new accessories in Paris – first of a series of 24-hour-campaigns

New collections SWIRL and PRESS from TOM DIXON.

A psychedelic update of an Italian post-modernist aesthetic, the pop sensibility of SWIRL from Tom Dixon is created from a series of geometric forms stacked upon one another to create multi-dimensional, functional sculptures. The unique process involves recycling the powdered residue from the marble industry, mixed with pigment and resin to create blocks of material that can then be sawn, sliced and turned on a lathe.

Stem, Small and Medium vases in the SWIRL collection are inspired by Ikebana, the Japanese art of flower arrangement. Anchored with a heavy base, the cylindrical vessels allow branches and flowers to cantilever out.

PRESS is a series of heavyweight grooved vases, bowls and candleholders made of fat, chunky coils of pure and clear transparent glass. The thickest industrially pressed glass artefacts designed and engineered to catch and refract light, and to last forever.

Bold in silhouette and simple in the function, PRESS are manufactured by dropping big globs of molten glass at 1,200 degrees centigrade and pressed in two- or three-part iron moulds to create immediately familiar silhouettes.

24 Hours in Paris was launched on January 20, 2020 and filmed with SONY equipment and latest innovations including Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS Lens; Sony FE 90mm f/2.8 Macro G OSS Lens; Sony 64GB SF-G Tough Series UHS-II SDXC; Sony 32GB SF-G Tough Series UHS-II SDHC; Sony Alpha a9; Sony A7sii and Sony PCM-D100.  Click here to see the film.
