Tom's Drag is a furniture and sculpture brand created by German artist Thomas Hoffmann and his partner. Since its foundation in 1991, the brand has become synonymous with eccentric style, bright colors and playful shapes.
The genesis of Tom's Drag
In the aftermath of the September 11 attacks, the duo's creative juices were flowing: they had to come up with a production that would bring joy, color and hope into people's homes. Colors became more flamboyant, more gold was used, and lacquers redoubled their quality to shine even brighter.
At the same time, techniques are evolving: the famous golden clog-shaped furniture legs, made of wood in the first collections, are now made of Marmorin, a material blended from resin and marble powder.
Marmorin allows for even greater creativity: that's how the slender-heeled, red glossy and rhinestone-lacquered pump feet came into being.
Pop art, Baroque and Art Deco
Tom's Drag furniture and sculptures are inspired by the Pop Art, Baroque and Art Deco movements. Each piece is unique, handmade, a work of art in itself, and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
Tom's Drag furniture features sinuous shapes, bright colors and elaborate details. Chairs, sofas and tables are adorned with animal, floral and geometric motifs. Flamboyant lines emerge, such as the Versailles collection, with chests of drawers echoing the codes of the Louis xv style, hyper-gilded with gold leaf. Other refined lines, such as Tahiti or Bora Bora, feature floral motifs, like exuberant, colorful flora.
Tom's Drag sculptures are also very popular, with animal figurines, vases and magazine racks that add a touch of color and eccentricity to any room. The incredible crocodile Léonard, with gold tooth and diamond ring on his finger, is a real eye-catcher. Or the feminine pink flamingo Felicy, her legs adorned with fishnet stockings, umbrella in hand and veil on her head... Each character is a poem in itself.
Tom's Drag furniture and sculptures are handcrafted using high-quality materials such as wood, glass, metal and Marmorin. The finishes are equally meticulous, with particular attention paid to details such as drawer handles and furniture legs.
In addition to its original creations, Tom's Drag also offers a range of products for the home, such as cushions, plaids and decorative accessories. These products are also designed in the brand's unique style, offering a wide variety of options for decorating a home in eccentric, colorful style.
In short, Thomas Hoffmann's Tom's Drag furniture and sculptures are unique, playful works of art that add a touch of eccentricity and color to any room. With careful attention to detail and quality materials, Tom's Drag creations are both functional and aesthetically pleasing, and are much appreciated by design and art lovers alike.
