    Tom Dixon is proof that designers are not just producers of objects, but also producers of change. After merging his own business with Alvar Aalto's Finnish design manufacturer Artek, Dixon is showing his true (green) colors and his commitment to eco-design with the debut of Artek's new Bambu line of furniture, made from, as the moniker implies, bamboo. The pieces themselves are designed by Henrik Tjaerby, though the move towards a more sustainable product line was Dixon's brainchild. Here's one star designer who doesn't mind sharing the limelight for a greater cause. Make sure to come hear what he has to say during his interview with Julie Taraska on Saturday at HauteGREEN.
