Tom Dixon will host “ELECTROANALOGUE,” a gathering of digital innovations in the Coal Office, the brand’s new HQ and flagship shop in King’s Cross, from September 15-23. “In collaboration with friends and partners Bill Amberg Studio, Teenage Engineering, Ege carpets, Spiritland, Formica and Kirkby Design, ‘ELECTROANALOGUE’ will explore the impact of digital technology through a diverse range of installations and events. The Coal Office will become a creative hub, stimulating the senses through interactive experiences in sight, sound, and touch,” states the design studio.The last arch of the Coal Office will be transformed into a 1970’s discotheque by Teenage Engineering to launch their new OP-Z synthesizer.Electronic musician and designer Yuri Suzuki will cut records in The Factory and introduce his latest innovations in the realms of sound.The design studio reveals that during London Design Festival, The Coal Office’s Gallery on the ground floor will showcase “HYPER REAL,” an exhibition exploring the digital manipulation of materiality for the first time to the public.Leather specialists Bill Amberg Studio have collaborated with Tom Dixon, Faye Toogood, Timorous Beasties, and US-based interior designers Alexandra Champalimaud and Natasha Baradaran to develop individual designs, which have been digitally printed on cow hides.Each five square meter print will be on display and the Bill Amberg team will demonstrate live upholstery sessions on Tom Dixon furniture throughout the week.Tom is a restless innovator who works mainly in lighting, accessories, and furniture. From his departure point in the early eighties welding salvaged steel into radical furniture, he has constantly reinvented himself through a series of different design lives — working with luxury Italian goods with Cappellini, Creative Director at Habitat and Artek, creating Plastics company Eurolounge, and finally instigating his own eponymous brand in 2002 to rethink the product designer’s relationship with industry.Fifteen years on, Tom Dixon is now a widely celebrated global force in interior design with hubs in New York, Hong Kong, London, Los Angeles, and Tokyo.http://www.blouinartinfo.com/ Founder: Louise Blouin Read more
