Tom Dixon Gets Into the Groove With a New Collection for Outdoor Living

As the days grow longer and thoughts turn to warmer weather, there’s nothing quite like planning for the joys of outdoor living. Perhaps no one is anticipating the first official day of spring more than British designer Tom Dixon, whose new Groove collection arrives after more than a decade of research and development. This elegant outdoor furniture collection combines durability, functionality, and timeless style, making it well worth the wait. Whether you’re envisioning laid back evenings under the stars or lively gatherings in the sun, Groove offers a stylish foundation to build the ideal outdoor space for any setting.

The Groove collection’s journey began in 2012 with Tom Dixon’s collaboration with German industrial machine manufacturing company Trumpf at MOST, the largest museum of science and technology in Italy. This early exploration of design and engineering laid the foundation for the collection’s innovative approach to materials and form. More recently, Dixon partnered with HYDRO, the world’s leading aluminum producer, in 2021, leveraging their expertise to bring his vision to life.

The hallmark of the Groove series is its distinctive art-deco-inspired ridges. Crafted from lightweight, corrosion-resistant aluminum, the furniture is as durable as it is elegant, making it ideal for outdoor use. The collection includes an oblong dining table, chairs, armchairs, and stools – marking Dixon’s first full range of outdoor furniture. Two sophisticated shades, Moss and Putty, ensure the pieces blend effortlessly into both natural and urban outdoor settings, while optional seat cushions provide maximum comfort. Designed with practicality in mind, the chairs and stools are stackable, making them easy to transport and store.

To complete the look, Tom Dixon is re-introducing his iconic Melt shade which has been re-engineered specifically for outdoor use. Available with a tripod base for freestanding placement or with a leather strap to hang from trees or pergolas, the Melt shade adds a sculptural, ambient glow. Equally suited for indoor use, this versatile lighting solution is a perfect complement to the Groove collection, offering both form and function.

Together with Melt, Groove brings elevated style to every space, from intimate home patios to bustling cafes and restaurants. With its art-deco-inspired details, durable aluminum construction, and thoughtful versatility, the collection reflects Tom Dixon’s dedication to redefining how we experience design in everyday life.
