No? For me the only thing that is interesting is that Tom Dixon is an industrial production guy mostly and that he is trying out something 'weird'. But if I really look at this work dead-on it is pretty horrifyingly embarrasing/unsophisticated. If Max Lamb does work for him still- he should take this as a cue to get the heck out.. his polystyrene sandcast chairs were, at least, quite elegant. -

Do as public enemy said - DON'T BELIVE THE HYPE! If the designers name was Fred Harris instead of Tom Dixon – I have a feeling that the comments would be nowhere near as positive!

Most of what he designs has little significance to anything important! Tom Dixon is one of the most over rated designers today. Most of what he designs has little significance to anything important!
