Tom Dixon "Kitchen Chair" c.1986

Description
You are viewing a very unique pair of chairs from Tom Dixon. Mr. Dixon, the former Creative Director of Habitat, began designing in his early twenties. His working methods were organic, and preferred to develop and amend his designs in a hands- on way as opposed to working from a series of structured drawings. In 1985 he formed "Creative Salvage" in London alongside with Mark Brazier-Jones, Nick Jones and Ron Arad. They focused on recycling and transforming scrap metal into new functional sculptural forms. The "Kitchen Chair" consists of welded mild steel construction incorporating a frying pan, fish skillets and Chinese ladles. These are truly very rare with only 50 being made in 1986, each piece is unique. The likes of Mick Jagger, Paul McCartney and many others are collectors of " Creative Salvage" pieces. These examples are in perfect condition and shows a slight warm patina. When viewing them in person they are quite remarkable. Truly a conversation piece and work of art. They would look great next to your Picasso!
