The Beat lights are spun and hand-beaten by renowned skilled craftsmen of Moradabad in Northern India. Established in 2002, Tom Dixon is a British design and manufacturing company of lighting and furniture. With a commitment to innovation and a mission to revive the British furniture industry, the brand is inspired by the UK's unique heritage of design. Although his bad boy persona frequently precedes him -- Tom Dixon dropped out of art school after a motorcycle accident and spent time playing bass with a rock band -- Dixon has emerged as one of England's most exciting and influential designers.
