Tom Dixon and his eponymous studio, which was established in 2002, have definitely made their mark on the luxury design scene within the United Kingdom and globally. Celebrated for many pieces that push the boundaries of design—from the Serpentine Sofa (2003) and the Plumbing Chair (1989) to the Plump Chair (2008) and the Spot Table (2008)—the designer/studio is now "returning to Milan to mark its 20th anniversary."
The exhibition will run between June seventh and June 12th. It will be split across two venues. Titled 'TWENTY,' the even will "present modified, upgraded, and rethought innovations that provide a reflective yet future-thinking overview of the most popular design pieces Tom Dixon has developed since the brand's inspection two decades ago."
