Collection Story
Origin
Fat is a made-to-order seating collection that wraps around the sitter. Its shapes come from mid-century and 1970s geometry, and Tom Dixon set out to take back the word "fat" and make it a positive one, putting comfort, volume and approachability first. The Fat Dining Chair was designed in 2019.
Design Language
Bold curves meet a playful elegance. Seats are built on moulded foam 'C' shells that concentrate on curvature, finished by hand and upholstered in Europe. After a re-engineering the pieces weigh less and look more streamlined, so they are easier to handle and move.
Key Pieces
The range covers lounge and dining chairs, bar and counter stools, work chairs and modular sofas, with many upholstery choices.
