Tom Pearson Unveils Riveted Aluminium Furniture at London Design Festival
At the London Design Festival, Tom Pearson introduced his first furniture and lighting line, the 10,000 Rivets collection. The pieces use aluminium rivets that serve both as structural supports and decorative elements, forming droplet‑shaped patterns. They are displayed in APOC’s London store as functional display cases and lighting fixtures.
At the London Design Festival, designer Tom Pearson unveiled the 10,000 Rivets collection, his first foray into furniture and lighting.
The pieces are made of aluminium and feature rivets that serve both as structural supports and decorative elements, arranged in droplet‑shaped patterns.
They are on display at APOC’s London store, where the aluminium frames act as display cases and integrated lighting fixtures.
For designers and animators, the dual role of the rivets offers a way to combine form and function, enabling modular, visually striking components.
The work shows that simple materials can be transformed into compelling visual statements when paired with thoughtful design.
Pearson may explore other materials or deeper integration of light and structure in future projects, a path that will interest those blending art and engineering.
