Description
The beguiling figure of these mouth-blown glasses are only one of the manifestations of Tom Dixon's play with conical, spherical and tubular forms in his Bump Collection. They also feel good in hand. A whimsical science laboratory sensibility suffuses the series, as Tom tapped the transformative process of alchemy as inspiration for both the form and material—borosilicate glass, the stuff of lab beakers, albeit in shades of rose and black. As these are sold as a pair, bump it up to a threesome with the like-named jug. (Also check out the Bump Tall Glass Set, rendered in reverse with a rose base and black top.)

Tom Dixon
“If there are rules to design, I don’t know what they are,” declares self-taught Tom Dixon. This Tunisian-born Brit started out with stints painting cartoons, as a printer, then bass player in a disco-funk outfit. But it was honing his welding skills in an auto body repair shop that led to a design breakthrough, the now revered S Chair for Cappellini. From there, after several years helming design at the iconic Habitat during its prime years, he established his eponymous brand in 2002 and with it a body of near-unrivaled work.
Tom Dixon is synonymous with the idiosyncratic sensibilities that inform so much of British aesthetics, yet by a beat all his own. He challenges with his use of materials in unexpected applications, and reworkings of otherwise conventional classics into elegant gems. His remarkable creative output covers a wide swath of categories, among them at A+R, his lighting, furniture, décor, tabletop and barware. Tom also manages to extend his exhaustive vision to hotels, restaurants—including his own at this wonderful campus at the Coal Drops Yard in King’s Cross—and the odd home. For good reason this OBE’s design work now resides in the collections of the V&A, MoMA and the Pompidou.
