, with his collection for Turkish specialist VitrA nodding to 19th-century aesthetics. He explains: ‘I like the feeling of permanence in Victorian bathrooms, with their big chunky taps and fat pipes. The aesthetic is closely connected to a whole tradition of British engineering, and influenced the development of the bathroom.
The resulting collection, ‘Liquid’, takes the British designer’s distinctive bold approach to a new functional level. Comprising bathroom essentials such as sinks, showerheads, taps, WCs, mirrors and hooks, as well as furniture including stools and cabinets and a series of textured tiles, the collection follows VitrA’s tradition of creative collaborations, while expanding the brand’s reach beyond just bathroom products.
The collection is defined by soft-edged, rounded forms that nod to the work of Jeff Koons, Claes Oldenburg and Barbara Hepworth, merging soft geometries and bold, shiny silhouettes. Dixon has injected even the most mundane of domestic objects with a strong design identity and bold aesthetic humour. Each piece was individually conceived, with the whole range working together in a space or individually as standalone pieces.
. When discussing ‘Liquid’, he references his fascination with ‘the way a bit of grey and greasy earth can transform into something so white, clean and shiny’.Share your email to receive our daily digest of inspiration, escapism and design stories from around the world
