Description
Press is a large vase, designed and engineered to catch and refract light, and to last for ever. This heavyweight grooved vase is made of fat, chunky coils of pure and clear transparent glass. Bold in silhouette and simple in function, it is manufactured by dropping big globs of molten glass at 1,200 degrees centigrade and pressed in two or three part iron moulds to create the immediately familiar silhouette.
Our Stylist Says
I love this large vase for its bold, minimalist design and versatile presence. It works exceptionally well in modern or industrial interiors, especially when styled with single stems or dried flowers to highlight its sculptural lines. The clear glass adds a sense of openness and light, making it suitable for both centrepieces on dining tables and as a statement piece on sideboards. Practical tips include using it as a standalone sculptural element or pairing it with smaller vases for a layered display. Keep floral arrangements simple to let the vase’s distinctive shape stand out and consider placing it in a well-lit area to emphasise the clarity of the glass.

17.5cmAbout Tom Dixon
Established in 2002, Tom Dixon is a British luxury design brand offering contemporary lighting, furniture, and accessories. Their innovative designs are perfect for those looking to make a unique, modern statement in their home.
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.
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.
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.
