Tom Dixon Table and Desk Lamps.
Tom Dixon A name linked for many decades with truly unique and wonderful items of furniture, interior design and of course lighting. Tom Dixon was a self-taught designer; he started making one-off pieces of furniture in a motor garage welding workshop owned by his friend. In the late 1980’s he made his first piece of lighting which was a one-off Spiral metal ceiling pendant which produced an unusual and active lighting effect. In 1994 the “Jack” light appeared, I always believed that the Jack was a reference to the old school game of Jacks, this fabulous floor lamp is now a lighting classic and sought after by collectors and interior designers alike.

Bell table lamps from Tom Dixon have a great retro look and have a design feel that takes me back to the early 1970s. The Bell range comes in two sizes and is offered in a number of finishes that vary in both in colour and reflective properties. These lamps have built-in dimmers making these top of the range lights suitable for a whole host of uses and settings.
