Description
Sharp clean and light, the Alloy scent and the metal share common core characteristics. A woody fragrance, created exclusively for Tom Dixon, blending vibrant wood notes with cool metallic facets, held in a gravity cast aluminium vessel. The container is made from a steel mould, with machined edges, sand cast and machined smooth on top and bottom. Made from 100% aluminium, they are completely raw, straight out of the mould so that sand grains and tool marks are visible on the surface. The lid is cut from an aluminium rod and Tom Dixon branding is embossed as part of the mould. Our candles are made in the UK from 50% natural ingredients (50% natural soy, 50% paraffin wax) and contain 10% fragrance - a much higher level compared to the standard 1-3%, meaning the scent is stronger and will last longer. Burn time: 70 hours. The vessels are lacquered on the inside so they have life after use although they cannot be used with food. Not dishwasher safe. Do not use abrasive agents as this will damage the surface. Wash in warm soapy water and dry with a soft cloth.

From Bass Guitar to Design Guru
Tom Dixon isn't your typical designer. Starting as the bass guitarist for Funkapolitan, a twist of fate led him to the world of design after a series of motorbike accidents.
By the 1980s, he was gaining recognition with pieces like the iconic "S' chair for Italian giant Cappellini. By the 90s, his creativity brought him to the forefront of British design, even rejuvenating the Habitat brand.
But it wasn't until 2002 that the Tom Dixon brand was established, with its base in London's King's Cross. The brand, known for pioneering lighting, furniture, and accessories, quickly gained international acclaim and is now represented in 90 countries.
Master of Materials
Tom Dixon's genius lies in his ability to reimagine ordinary materials. From the early days, he transformed found objects and industrial materials into art.
Whether it's the allure of copper, the shine of stainless steel, the imperfections in hand-beaten brass, or the timeless nature of stone, Tom Dixon products always have a unique touch.
His signature products, from the Melt pendant inspired by molten glass to the instantly recognizable Beat, S Chair, and Wingback, can be found in museums like the Victoria & Albert Museum in London and MOMA in New York.
More Than Just Products
Tom Dixon's impact isn't limited to individual items. In 2007, he launched Design Research Studio, which has since redefined spaces around the world.
From the Drugstore Brasserie in Paris to reimagining the modern cruise experience for Virgin Voyages, his design agency creates immersive environments.
