Tom Dixon at Maison & Objet

Maison & Objet's Designer of the Year continues push the boundaries. This time, creating 'The Factory' - a unique factory-to-store concept at the exhibition.


This tongue in cheek experiential creation is engineered to take over Paris with the scent of London. I like it already!

Producing new limited edition products for the show, the London Brick concept is born.

Actual London bricks are repurposed as diffusers to inject Tom Dixon's signature fragrance, London, into the home.




Designed to capture the smell of red bricks and London parks with crocuses and nettles, and the salty smell of the Thames at Dagenham, I can confirm it does just that. With a smokey scent, the fragrance features top notes of peppercorn, a heart of oud wood and vetiver, and a base of cedar wood and patchouli.

Produced on site, each bottle lid is laser etched, the bricks are individually wrapped and stamped by hand.

All in all, this charming concept has taken Paris by storm.
