New at Inform Interiors: Anglepoise + Paul Smith Type 75 Edition Two

ANGLEPOISE + PAUL SMITH

"After the success of my first Anglepoise lamp, I'm very happy to be working with them again on a fresh version.  I hope everyone likes it!"- Paul Smith

Once again Paul Smith has collaborated with Anglepoise to create Type 75 Desk Lamp-Paul Smith-Edition Two.  This lamp is a testament to this designer's remarkable deftness in instilling modernity and new life into a well-loved design classic.  The lamps will be available from September, ready for the start of the festive season.

If Edition One, with its sunny combination of cornflower, fuchsia and lime, is evocative of summer, then the Edition Two is its alter ego, evoking the deep, rich hues of autumn.  Combined with deep slate and cool grey, the striking mix of sumptuous, jewel-like colors is smart, restrained, sophisticated. Add a bold accent of orange - that element of surprise so intrinsic to Paul Smith style - and the colors take on a new intensity.

Seen in tandem, each Edition assumes a distinct and contrasting identity, helped, no doubt, by the antheopomorphic form of the lamps themselves: Edition One the more playful, perhaps more feminine of the two and Edition Two its stunning new counterpart.

"Anglepoise, never out of fashion and a product that will last and last, and Paul Smith, a special slant  on design with invention, humor and some charming eccentricity: a unique design partnership of two great British companies"--Sir Kenneth Grange

Tom Dixon Talks Preview

Words from Mr. Dixon. Coming to Inform Saturday March 1! Details here.

New from Tom Dixon: Y Chair, Beat Light Brass, Etch Black

New Tom Dixon products will be on view at Inform for his talk on design on March 1. Join us if you can; RSVP here!

The Y Chair's expressive form is injection moulded in glass-reinforced nylon which is extremely fatigue resistant - absorbing shock and loas through its flexibility and tested to a contract level. Super ergonomic and ultra robust, this chair is set to be the work horse of your next restaurant project.

We all know the Beat series from Mr. Dixon, but they've been refreshed with a new finish - all brass! the Beat Light Brass is hand spun from solid sheets of brass. The plain brass exterior is brushed to achieve a matte surface and finished with a clear lacquer while the interior is beaten, hence the name.

Etch Black continues the expansion of the Etch family. It is available in 23.6" diameter and has an unusual open structure, designed to cast atmospheric angular shadows when lit.

Come by for the event or after to view these beautiful new products in person! We can't wait to get them on the floor!

New projects from Tom Dixon

Stephen brings us the latest projects from Tom Dixon and team. The Brits just get it right.

Design Research Studio under the direction of Tom Dixon, has created the interior for the new restaurant at the Royal Academy of Arts. This is the latest project for renowned restaurateur Oliver Peyton of Peyton and Byrne. The 150 seat restaurant opened to the public 19th January 2011.

The 2690 sq ft refurbishment features the new Tom Dixon Scoop upholstered chair and brass Etch shade as well as several more discreetly placed Tom Dixonproducts like the Glass Bead and Base Lights.

To extend the gallery experience, a dramatic stack of glass cubes have been installed to house an extraordinary selection of sculptures and busts dating back to 1897. The pieces belong to the Royal Academy of Arts permanent collection but have long been stored out of public view. Love the Historical Mash-up!
