Mr. Dixon’s way of looking at the design is very unique. He looks at a certain product and thinks how he can create a completely different looking product with knowing all the materials he will use for it. Like stated in the article: “The furniture industry tends to think in a very homogeneous way, with everyone repeating each other,” said Todd Bracher, a Brooklyn-based designer who worked for Mr. Dixon from 2003 to 2005, just as Mr. Dixon was getting his brand off the ground. “Somehow, Tom was able to cut through all that.”
He uses used materials in his products. This is how Tom Dixon is correlated with our class. He doesn’t use any new materials but rather finds metal scraps from places and creates a very unique product that no one would think to produce. For my final project, I am doing more or less the same thing, such as finding plastic scraps from around and creating something new out of them. So, he is and can be an influence on my project which I am going to research more about.
