Tom Dixon - The Rough and The Smooth



You can now peruse Tom Dixon's 2013 collection on the Utility website which focuses on contrasting textures - the rough and the smooth. Ranges have been expanded and new product families have emerged to remind us of Tom Dixon's creativity and innovation. The Cell range reaffirms his sensitivity towards brass by using layers of minutely etched metal to filter light for a dramatic visual light display. Digressing away from intricate lighting solutions, such as the Etched Web Pendant, this dense etched pattern creates a more solid structure with a definite presence. Cell looks particularly arresting when grouped together thanks to their geometric configurations. A brass crowned bulb has been exclusively developed for the Short Cell Pendant Light and Wall Light reinforcing its golden glow.

Gem offers the perfect juxtaposition, the sand-cast nickel-plated aluminium surface is alive with texture. Each piece proudly embraces the marks of its construction - a unique imprint of the rough sand. From the Wide Pendant Light to the High Side Table, their tactile exterior is pronounced via facets, inspired by cut gem stones. Mass is equally as expressive, using minimalist forms to create confident over-scaled furniture with a dominant charisma. The Book Stand and Coat Stand are brass-clad and the Dining Table, copper which develop a natural patina over time.

The Drum Stool's bold geometry has really caught our eye and we're sure its highly adaptable shape will add a subtle design injection into any environment. Available in a range of Kvadrat fabrics, Drum is suitable for a range of contract and domestic uses.

Utility featured within Grazia


We are awash with pride after Utility was featured as one of the '10 hot things to do in Liverpool' within Grazia's Local North West Special (14th May 2012). This is a brand new section highlighting the very best bits of UK and Ireland, asking people to recommend their favourite haunts within their home town or city. This wouldn't have been made possible without our good friend Aliki Marcou from Pushcka, who we must send a huge big thanks to, for nominating our Liverpool home store (60 Bold Street) as one of the places to go for our 'super-chic homeware'. Thank you! We can't forget her tip on our selection of funny birthday cards available at our Bold Street gift store. To exhibit our range of modern furniture, a rather wonderful picture was taken inside our showroom displaying our current installation of design gems. You can view a comprehensive breakdown here.

Orb Lighting

A contemporary take on the the classic orb light, these beautiful additions to our Tom Dixon collection are available in two sizes.  Each of the perfectly formed blown glass spheres are embellished with a satin brass collar for that little touch of luxury.  The simple opaque glass orb emits a soft diffused light, creating a flattering and atmospheric luminosity.

Orb Pendant Lights by Tom Dixon from £425.00
