Plum Collection: Shot Glass Set + Jigger
Description
If the company is worthy, why not give 'em your best shot? This set of 4 plated stainless shot cups elevates the act of enjoying a spirited hit of whiskey, vodka or tequila. Indentation on opposite sides of each cup make for an, ehem, ergonomic grip. Accompanying jigger can measure out shots for direct hits, or to be poured into the making of a cocktail (see the Plum Cocktail Shaker by Tom Dixon, also at A+R, for further exploits in home bartending). Salut!

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.
