TOM DIXON SHOP and MOOOI SHOWROOM at the LONDON DESIGN FESTIVAL
My second day at the London Design Festival and heading to local venue, Portobello Dock. Always keen to see what TOM DIXON is up to - a big inspiration for me. His website is enough to get you inspired - see here The new shop was full of things I wanted to take home like these polished granite platters (think that's what they are) and these brilliant toadstool like stone side tables - a lovely natural feel to them. 
Another thing that caught my eye was a brilliant display of Arts & Crafts brass and copper salvers, jugs and platters, all of which were a prelude to what hung above. In conjunction with Brompton Bicycles, Tom Dixon has designed an incredibly sexy copper plate bicycle that seems to almost glow. I started to wonder how long it would last chained up outside Waitrose on Porchester Road before being nicked. Probably 5 minutes tops - in broad daylight too.
