British designer Dixon established his brand Tom Dixon in London and specialises in lighting and furniture design. High-profile works include the Restaurant at The Royal Academy in London, the Jamie Oliver restaurant Barbecoa and Shoreditch House. His works are exhibited at museums across the globe, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. In 2001, Dixon was appointed as an OBE for services to British Design.

The Bird chaise is a bold sculptural statement that is destined to bring extra colour and shape, movement and comfort into lobbies, breakout areas and homes. Bird was first made in 1990 in galvanised steel in Tom Dixon’s south London Metal shop and subsequently produced under license to Cappellini.

Tom Dixon about the bird chaise:
“A collision of rocking chair and chaise longue sounds improbable but just about works – and is an opportunity to create a brand-new typology of furniture: the rocking chaise”.

This black leather piece is manufactured late nineties early 00s and is in very good condition consistent with age and use.
