Tom Dixon returned to Milan after a year’s absence and focussed his energy on how the brand can embed itself into the heart of Italy’s commercial and cultural capital.
The Manzoni,is a restaurant that doubles as a permanent showroom in the heart of the city.
Tom Dixon has relocated his head office, showroom and retail space from Ladbroke Grove ( West London ) further along the Regents Canal, to the new 1,600 sqm complex on Regent’s Canal and Granary Square, with the vision that it will become a creative hub for the broader design community.
A new elevated park, Bagley Walk, similar to the Highline in New York, runs along the front of the building connecting Granary Square and Gasholder Park.
I have a definite preference for the construction of things – rather than the final shape. I love the bones of an object. The surface or the skin is never an afterthought but always a consequence of the structure
