Tom Dixon, the Restless Innovator.

VIEW ONLINE VERSION The Restless Innovator. Tom Dixon's career is characterised by a willingness to experiment, to diversify, and ability to adapt. Whether it's the music industry where he started, or architecture (where he's currently setting his sights), Dixon sees his work "through child-like eyes", driven by an insatiable curiosity to understand the world around him, and make it better through good design. What's also clear is that, like a child, Dixon is unfazed by the concept of failure as an end – it is simply the step before success. This sense of optimism, which sits against a rugged industrial aesthetic, unifies Dixon's work and goes some way to accounting for the success he continues to enjoy. EXPLORE THE COLLECTION Q: Can you tell us how being a self-taught designer impacts the way you go about your work? A: I think I still do almost everything with a level of amateurism, which is quite naive in its outlook. This means I end up probably making more mistakes than other people, but it sometimes brings an original way of looking at things, which I think is important. Q: If you could turn back time, would you have gone to design school? A: Had I trained as a designer, I might not be doing design anymore. I think there's something about being an outsider that I quite like. And I am constantly putting myself in situations where again, I'm no expert. The restaurant that we have in London is a very good example. I don't think if I'd trained in the restaurant business I would have enjoyed it nearly as much as doing it by accident.
