Tom Dixon – Curators Choice - Noise Festival
07/10/08 | Award
Tom Dixon has chosen ‘Universal Generator’ as one of his top 5 designs in Noise Festival 2008.
"I think what’s interesting about it is that it’s tackling a very, very real problem which is energy generation, particularly micro-energy generation, in communities which might not have a lot of electricity. British engineering for sure is still potentially a place for Chris to go but there are very specialist manufacturers for these types of things all over the world." - Tom Dixon

Made In Brunel - 08
12/06/2008 | Exhibition
The Design Show has come to an end and has been judged a great success. During the show, considerable interest was expressed in my major project, which had secured a patent just 2 weeks previously.
This project aims to find an alternative to current vaccination hardware which cannot be re-used. The objective is to reduce the spread of blood born pathogens such as HIV due to the re-use of presently available needles and syringes. The commercial viability and cultural acceptance of such newly developed vaccination units within South Africa is a crucial consideration of this project.
We are currently looking for investors and specialists in the field to help progress the project to the next stage. If you would like to be involved in the project please contact me.
More information in my involvement in student design shows can be found here.
