The pop sensibility of Tom Dxon’s SWIRL vase collection

Following a successful 24-hour campaign in Paris, the British design supremo Tom Dixon’s new collection of vases by name of SWIRL is now officially launched in store.

Available in a range of shapes and sizes, the SWIRL vases represent a psychedelic update of an Italian post-modernist aesthetic, created from a series of geometric forms stacked upon one another to create multi-dimensional, functional sculptures.
Featured here is a selection of Tom Dixon's guerrilla photoshoot at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris.

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 are inspired by Ikebana, which is the Japanese art of flower arrangement. Anchored with a heavy base, the cylindrical vessels allow branches and flowers to cantilever out.


SWIRL is a series of geometric forms stacked upon one another to create multidimensional, functional sculptures; each piece features a unique pattern due to the pouring process.   The Swirl family includes also coat hooks, bookends, furniture and other decorative designs.
