Story
Reclaiming the word fat
The design takes inspiration from mid-century and 1970s geometry shapes and set out to reclaim the word fat as something positive. The focus is on comfort, volume and approachability, and the result is a signature silhouette that balances softness and elegance.
Tested in a London restaurant
Fat is constantly tested in Tom Dixon's own Coal Office restaurant in London and across locations worldwide. The collection has recently been re-engineered to be lighter for easier handling and movement. Year of design: 2019.
