My Brit sources tell me that Tom Dixon’s first showroom and shop in the newly completed Portobello Dock is a must see. Located in Ladbroke Grove, the Dock (designed by Stiff + Trevillion) is a large, multi-use complex of buildings housing the Wharf, the Canal, and the White Buildings. Dixon’s shop in the Wharf building is comprised of a series of rooms built like a stage set, each one focusing on a different material. His whole line is on display, including pieces from his new 2009 Utility collection, which include the New Slab Bar Stool and the New Offcut Stool shown below.
