Bolon flooring in Tom Dixon’s new office at the Dock

During the London Design Festival 2010, Bolon’s Designer Friend Tom Dixon will launch his first London shop at the Dock. For his new office areas and main staircase in the White Building, Tom Dixon has chosen Bolon flooring.

Tom Dixon first came across Bolon’s products when he as creative director of the 100% Design Show a few years ago was looking for products for the VIP room.For his new office areas and main staircase in the White Building, Tom Dixon has again chosen Bolon flooring, from the new 2010 collections Botanic and Graphic, as well as one of Bolon’s most popular collections NOW.

— We were looking at a super hard-wearing but comfortable finish that was in a metallic – really hard to find! Bolon was the answer, and what’s working really well is the way it reflects light upward from the floor, which was an unexpected bonus, says Tom Dixon.

Tom Dixon launches during London Design Festival its first shop in a converted Wharf Building at the Dock, showcasing extraordinary items for everyday use. A dedicated materials library opens within the shop, available to professionals looking for reference and inspiration for architectural and interior design projects. Tom Dixon also hosts ’Global Industry at the Dock’, an eclectic collection of international entrepreneurs from around the world. International launches include Dutch design manufacturer Moooi who are opening their first UK showroom in The White Building. Expect an original shopping experience, indoor installations and exhibitions overlooking the Grand Union Canal.

20th – 26th of September, 2010. Mon - Sat 10am - 6pm / Sun 10am - 4pm Late night opening to the public: Thu 23rd September 8pm. Tom Dixon, Portobello Dock, 344 Ladbroke Grove, London W10 5BU
