The Dixonary entry for “cool”
Monday morning brought interesting news and an even more intriguing collaboration. In a significant pivot, British designer Tom Dixon and Fab’s ex-design chief Bradford Shellhammer announced that they would be combining their talents—in the form of a rock band named Rough. Shellhammer is going to take the stage as the lead vocalist and Dixon will pick up the bass. (Lady designers looking for a musical outlet: They’re currently seeking for a female within the design industry to fill the third spot on Rough’s roster.) And, of course, they’ll be debuting the trio at Milan Design Week.

Check out this throwback to one of Funkapolitan’s hits, “As the Time Goes By”:
