Along with his new shop, Tom Dixon launched two new stools at the London Design Festival. The Offcut stool makes use of scraps of oak wood usually discarded due to their irregular shape and texture. The round seat makes clever use of these curved offcuts and the construction requires no additional screws or glue, allowing for the stool to be flat packed. In turn combining oak and cast iron, the Slab barstool epitomises the multifunctional utility of stools that are often used as steps, podiums, pedestals or that extra seat at the impromptu dinner party.
