As for the touchy, feely experience we've worked with Harry's to create a 4-piece razor bar that draws on the sensory tactility of shaving.

In the ‘Textiles’ Arch, Tom Dixon will preview their 2020 textiles collaboration with Scottish mill Bute Fabrics.
Fat chairs
Fat, our new upholstery chair range will be shown with an additional silhouette to be revealed during London Design Festival.
Canopy of fabric
To enhance the tactility, the walls of the arch will be padded, and a canopy of fabric will suspend from the ceiling. Fat chairs and the new Fat sofa, chaise and stool will be on display in the upcoming upholstery range.
Talks and Demonstrations
A large loom will be warped up and live weaving demonstrations led by the mill will take place every day. Daily talks will also offer visitors an insight into the collection.
