\nTom Dixon<\/a> may have become a designer by accident but the man surely known what he is creating! A master of metal, he is back with a new creation, a chair<\/a>, made of recyclable aluminium. The chair results from close collaboration between the British designer and the Norwegian energy and aluminum company Hydro. The Hydro Chair is designed for longevity, multiuse, and, most importantly, easy recycling. It is completely designed in 100% aluminum, and with few components, it is easy to take apart when it no longer has use as a chair. Tom Dixon<\/a> premiered the limited-edition<\/a> Hydro Chair as part of \u201824 hours in Milan\u2019 and is limited to only 60 pieces. It is ideal for use both inside and outside. \u201cI have always been obsessed with materials and aluminum in particular. It\u2019s a metal I find incredibly interesting with its endless opportunities in terms of shapes and surface qualities. Being able to work with the top aluminum and material experts in the industry was an opportunity I couldn\u2019t refuse,\u201d says Tom Dixon, Founder and Creative Director of Tom Dixon Studio.

\n\u201cThe future needs circular materials, and we need to design products that live longer, can be recycled or reused. Understanding material properties and manufacturing processes will help create more sustainable products designed with recycling or reuse in mind, and that is why we believe it is important for designers and manufacturers to collaborate,\u201d says Hilde Kallevig, Head of Brand and Marketing in Hydro.<\/p>\n
