In Conversation with Tom Dixon

The man behind the renowned S Chair of the 1980s, Tunisia-born industrial designer Tom Dixon is the latest subject to sit down with PORT for its In Conversation segment. Here, Dixon touches on being unorthodox, his experimental approach to design, and the ways in which an “untutored” non-expert can “bring something new to the party.” For Dixon, sometimes the best work comes when there’s very little knowledge of the field, which allows for a fresh perspective and new approach – a theme that figures prominently in his latest forays into the world of architecture.
