Tom Dixon - Slab chair black oak

Tom Dixon Slab Chair Black Oak.

When the designers at Tom Dixon decided to design a dining room chair that is both comfortable and also blends nicely with the rest of the Slab range, this had to be something modest, but also with personality / modern and yet look like it had always existed , familiar yet unique - and also stackable and comfortable!

So it took quite a long time, because it turned out to be a particularly challenging assignment. But this one is now cracked with this unique chair that compares well in many settings, one where the craftsmanship is on display in every detail. The Slab series is made of solid oak, sourced from sustainably managed forests.

The chair is available in black brushed mat lacquered oak, and also in a mat lacquered natural oak variant. A black leather seat is optional.

About the designer: 

Designer Tom Dixon was born on May 21, 1959 in Sfax, Tunisia. In 1963 his family moved to England. After high school, Dixon attended Chelsea School of Art for a short while before quitting and making his living as a musician in a band and by doing odd jobs. In the early 1980s, he began producing chairs welded together from everyday items he had salvaged - and with rapidly growing success.

Dixon gained fame as an industrial designer in 1991 with his "S Chair" for Cappellini. Other luminaires designs followed, sometimes with an experimental look, his "Pylon Chair" and "Jack", a lighting and seating object. In 1998 he was appointed Head of Design and later Creative Director by the home furnishing chain Habitat, where he worked until 2008. At the same time, he founded the brand "Tom Dixon" in 2002. The brand first attracted attention with "Fresh Fat", a range of plastic furniture. From 2004 to 2009, Dixon was creative director for the Finnish furniture manufacturer Artek. His "Copper Shade" lighting range dates back to 2005 - it would become one of Dixon's most popular designs. In 2006 the series “Beat” luminaires followed. In 2007 he designed the furniture for the exclusive club "Shoreditch House" in London. and later he came up with the "Melt" series of pendant lamps, the metal cladding of which was applied using the PVD surface coating technology.
