About This Piece

Vintage Design

Very rare EPS chair in a limited edition of 500 pieces in grey expanded polystyrene (packing material) designed by Tom Dixon for the London Design Festival in 2006 for an event called ''The Great Chair Grab''. 500 of these chairs were put on Trafalgar Square and was given away for free to the first 500 people who turned up. It’s made by the EPS Packing Group in grey expanded polystyrene which in some ways are a very fragile material. As it’s over 10 years since the event one could easily assume that most of the chair would be destroyed by now. Very few have ever occurred on the market which makes it even more unique and to this day no one knows how many chair are still in existence of the original 500.

This chair is not really for sitting. It´s more considered a piece of art or sculpture and would be perfect for a museum or a collector. If one would use it, it would break pretty quick.

It have some dents and marks but overall it's in a very good condition when the material and age is taken under consideration. It comes with the original paper that came along with the chair when it was new.

About the Creator

Tom Dixon

Tom Dixon was born in Tunisia in 1959, but moved to Great Britain when he was four. This self-proclaimed maverick of the design world arrived at the field via an unconventional route, living out his formative years as an art school dropout, a party organizer, and a bassist for a band called Funkapolitan. At twenty-five, he started to weld furniture and sculpture, often using found materials, first for clubs and soon after for London-based galleries.

Dixon founded his studio in 1991. Drawing inspiration from the idea of “creative recycling” and experimenting with unusual materials, he has designed objects and interiors for Terence Conran, Jean Paul Gaultier, Romeo Gigli, Ralph Lauren, and Vivienne Westwood. He has developed products for Cappellini, Driade, Inflate, and SCP.

Since 2002, the Tom Dixon studio has grown into a design and manufacturing brand, launching self-produced collections annually with products and limited editions sold around the world.
