2. SOL Inspired by the cubic sculptures of American Artist Sol Lewitt, Tom Dixon’s design team created a display system for
their showrooms and shop-in-shop spaces world wide.
In the 1960s LeWitt began investigating the cube—a form that remained an essential element of his artistic language throughout his career.
But in 1973, the artist started to literally take the cube apart. The Conceptual artist’s exploration places emphasis on the idea rather than the
art object, and so LeWitt asked: how many variations could be created by systematically subtracting parts from an open cube? For months he
painstakingly worked through the artistic process and idea, and concluded with 122 variations of incomplete open cubes.
3. The result is SOL, a system of modular
lengths that can interconnected to make
geometric structures to carry a variety of
merchandise.
The system flat packs to ease logistics, and is reconfigurable to allow the whole
system to change and evolve.
