Tom Dixon Shop

It seems so obvious, but till now there was nowhere to find all of Tom Dixon’s collections under one roof. Housed in an old Victorian goods carrier at Portobello Dock, the vibe is all about finding the extraordinary in the everyday; and will include the latest ’Industry’ collection. Plus, among the myriad of Dixon-designed masterpieces, shoppers will also find work by the likes of Piet Hein Eek, New Caribbean Design and Ateliers Ruby.

Case Furniture
Case Furniture takes up residence in Clapham, South London, and will be the only place in the UK to stock the brand’s collection in its entirety. A particular highlight is the company’s new collaboration with Shin Azumi’s on the ’Covet Desk’ and ’Particle Shelving’, while also in its stable of designers is Matthew Hilton, Marina Bautier and Nazanin Kamali - all of whom prove why, since Case’s relatively recent launch in 2006, it has scooped a myriad of awards on its quest ’to keep good design alive.’

EDC London
EDC’s new Fitzrovia showroom is all about making you feel at home - so much so that it was conceived as an open-plan city apartment. Visitors enter through a heavy wooden door behind which lies a series of living environments, from the dining to the bedroom; over 2000-sq-ft, a trademark EDC eclectic mélange of contemporary and classic furniture is arranged throughout this simulation of the home. Expect to see designs from the likes of Ferruccio Laviani, Mauro Lipparini, Niki Jones, Jorg Zeidle and Philippe Bestenheider among many more, as well as a Limited Edition series created exclusively for EDC.

In the backgroud, a yellow ’Platner side chair’ is spotlit by a ’Dickensen’ floor light. In the foreground ’Tulip’ chairs are drawn up to a marble-topped Saarinen table.
