The design of the Fat Work Office Chair began back in 2021. During a prolonged work-from-home period, Tom took home his boring, generic-looking black office chair and quickly discovered that it wasn’t comfortable and really didn’t match his home’s aesthetic.
Tom Dixon, OBE is a self-taught British designer. He is currently the Creative Director of the brand 'Tom Dixon' specialising in Lighting, Furniture and Accessories. He has taken Tom Dixon the brand from a small business operation to an international brand in the space of 20 years.

While working with the Italian giant Cappellini he designed the widely acclaimed ‘S’ Chair. In the late 90's Tom became Creative Director at Habitat, responsible for rejuvenating the brand while maintaining Terence Conran's vision of enriching everyday life through simple, modern design.
