Tom Dixon Wingback Chair

Tom Dixon Wingback Chair

Designed by Tom Dixon, Wingback Chair was inspired by traditional 17th century Wingback and balloon-back archetypes, and was developed for Shoreditch House Members Club. Its expressive sweeping curves allows designers to specify Wingback in the centre of spaces as a sculptural intervention rather than merely a piece of seating. The wings provide convenient acoustic protection for mobile phone use and a headrest for quick snoozes.

The Wingback was the clear winner and made its debut in 2007, remastered for maximum comfort and engineered efficiency. In 2015, the range was re-engineered and refined to give it an even more rakish silhouette, the ergonomics adjusted for more comfort and the manufacturing process modernised and moved to Europe – a metal frame, moulded hard foam, pocket sprung seat.

Tom Dixon is a self-taught British designer. His career began when he discovered pleasure in welding while repairing damaged motorcycle frames after having been forced to leave his disco-punk band 'Funkapolitan' when he broke his leg in a motorcycle accident. He holds an Honorary Doctorate from Birmingham City University. He lives in London with his wife and two daughters and is often seen with his blind and deaf poodle, Molly.

Tom Dixon rose to prominence in the mid 1980s as a maverick, an untrained designer with a line in welded salvage furniture. While working with the Italian giant Cappellini he designed the widely acclaimed ‘S’ Chair.

In the late 90s Tom became Creative Director at Habitat, responsible for rejuvenating the brand while maintaining Terence Conran's vision of enriching everyday life through simple, modern design.

In 2000, Tom's work was recognised through being awarded an OBE by Her Majesty The Queen. His work has been acquired by the world’s most famous museums for permanent collections of the Victoria & Albert Museum, London; MOMA, New York; and the Centre Pompidou, Paris.

Since setting up his own eponymous design company in 2002, Tom’s work has become even more prominent through the development of many iconic designs and interiors.

Tom Dixon is a British design and manufacturing company of lighting and furniture. With a commitment to innovation and a mission to revive the British furniture industry, the brand is inspired by our nation’s unique heritage. Tom Dixon launches new collections annually with products sold in more than 60 countries.
