Industrial designer Tom Dixon discovered the transformative power of clay at a young age. Later, after dropping out of art college, he toured with his band and when a motorcycle accident ended his bass playing career, he taught himself to weld. Now his eponymous global design brand specializes in furniture, lighting, accessories and interiors. After 30+ years as a designer, he still fancies himself a rebel, thriving in chaos and experimentation.    Images, links and more from Tom Dixon!   This episode is presented as part of WantedDesign Manhattan Online Conversation Series, presented by Clever and Design Milk.
