My Milan: Tom Dixon

The ubiquitous big gun, Tom Dixon has been a key figure in Milan for as long as we can remember. A maverick designer-businessman Dixon has played the industry shrewdly from the early days as self-taught designer-maker in the 1980s selling limited editions of his welded furniture to companies such as Cappellini to head of design chain Habitat, creative director at Artek and his latest venture: the Dock, a retail and restaurant space in West London. For this year's Milan Design Week, he presents 'Multiplex', a pop-up viewing theatre, broadcasting centre, restaurant, shop and gallery.
