Tom Dixon设计了由印度的绿色森林大理石制成的一套蜡烛架和餐盘，并将其命名为“Rock”。

“Rock”系列餐具由深绿色大理石制成，上面覆盖着不规则的棕色纹路。

Tom Dixon has created a collection of candle holders and serving platters made from green forest marble sourced from India, called Rock.
The tableware items in the Rock collection are all made from dark green marble, which is covered in a web of irregular brown seams.



该工作室称这套作品“互动的、有趣的、可堆叠的雕塑集合，它们是餐桌上的建筑。”

该系列包括两种不同大小的可堆叠烛台，三种不同形状的砧板和表面带槽的餐盘，以及一个有趣的哑铃状工艺品。

The items are described by the studio as "a collection of interactive, playful and stackable sculptures, which act as architecture for your dining table."
It includes two different sizes of stackable candleholders, three different shaped chopping boards and serving platters with grooved surfaces, and a playful dumbbell design.



Dixon曾多次去印度旅行，在那里他看到了拉贾斯坦邦（Rajasthan）和阿格拉（Agra印度）的手工车床工人，于是“Rock”系列作品便应运而生。

他想要把这个系列设计成简单的形状，让它们可以用手工制作，又可以像孩子们的积木一样堆在一起使用。

因为每一件作品所用的大理石不同，所以上面的图案和质地都是独一无二的。

The design inspiration for the Rock collection came from Dixon's many trips to India where he observed the hand lathe workers of Rajasthan and Agra.
For this collection, he wanted to create simple shapes that could be turned by hand on the lathe and stacked together like children's building blocks, said the studio.
The pattern and texture of each piece in the collection is entirely unique, depending on the block of marble it was carved from.



Dixon曾经多次使用大理石设计作品，他的工作室玩笑地称他总是和材料“坠入爱河”。

在米兰家具博览会上，Dixon告诉Dezeen的记者：“从一开始，大理石、木材和塑料、玻璃、铁、黄铜和铜就定义了我们产品的基础。”

Dixon的Design Research建筑室内设计工作室以前设计过堆叠大理石浴室配件，他们曾用大理石元素装饰过伦敦Harrods 的Sandwich咖啡馆、亚特兰大的Himitsu鸡尾酒酒吧和巴黎éclectic餐厅。

Dixon has worked with marble on numerous occasions in the past with the studio describing his relationship with the material as a "love affair".
During Milan furniture fair, Dixon told Dezeen: "Marble, wood and plastic, glass, iron, brass and copper are the basic building blocks that have defined our products from the outset."
The studio has previously produced stackable marble bathroom accessories, while Dixon's architectural interiors practice Design Research Studio incorporated marble elements into the Sandwich cafe at Harrods in London, the Himitsu cocktail lounge in Atlanta, and at a restaurant called éclectic in Paris.



该系列于9月1日在网上推出，同时也在Tom Dixon位于国王十字路的旗舰店推出。该店面于今年早些时候开业，当时该品牌将其整个办公室从Ladbroke Grove迁至前维多利亚时代的煤场。

The collection launched on 1 September online and at Tom Dixon's Flagship Shop in King's Cross, which was opened earlier this year when the brand relocated its entire offices from Ladbroke Grove to a former Victorian coal yard.
