Hydro Chair by Tom Dixon
£2,021
Tom Dixon became a designer by accident. He was gigging in a funk band in London when he started welding chairs from scrap metal in his free time. ‘It was never a plan, it was just an evolution,’ he once said of his move into design. Now, his lights, chairs and accessories can be found in high-profile restaurants, shops and museums around the world. This limited-edition aluminium chair was created in collaboration with Hydro, the biggest aluminium producer in the world. It has been blow-formed at high temperatures and then laser cut by robots. The ballooned pattern gives rigidity to the frame and lends a pop sensibility to the pared-back design. The bonus? It is extremely light and stackable too. Your summer seating sorted!
