• Tom Dixon Tom Dixon, who was born in Tunisia, moved to England at the age of four. His artistic career got off to an unusual start when, following two motorcycle accidents – one six months after starting at Chelsea Art School – he used much of his convalescence to learn welding. He then spent two years working evenings and nights in the entertainment business. This left him plenty of spare time during the day, which he used to do lots of welding. With his newly won skill, he turned his hand to using all conceivable weldable materials to create works of art and furniture. His sculptural items soon attracted attention, were featured at exhibitions, and brought new assignments. He became one of the best known avant-garde designers. One of his pieces – the now so famous S-chair – was discovered by Cappellini and quickly went into production. Today, the S-chair is something of an icon, and is on permanent exhibition at the Modern Museum of Art in New York. His association with Cappellini has seen several more products successfully launched.
