Dine on design: Tom Dixon's Sandwich at Harrods

If you want a lesson in lighting with a side dish of design, pop into Tom Dixon’s new Sandwich café on the third floor of Harrods.

Design Research Studio, under the creative direction of Tom Dixon, has designed everything, including the high-backed, bottle green velvet wing chairs and brass-lined coffee tables at the front, to the simple marble-topped tables and sleek, pierced brass window blinds at the back. It feels both jazzy and understated at the same time.

As for what to eat, from a menu offering all-day breakfast, sandwiches, plates, salads and cakes, we enjoyed the London porker hog roast sandwich in a crusty roll (£12.90) - quite messy but totally delicious - and a poached lobster sandwich with thousand island dressing in a glazed roll (£18.50), served with generous amounts of lobster in a rich buttery dressing. 

Of the many cakes on offer from a changing daily selection, the best was the carrot cake (£6.90): a huge slab of moist, nutmeg-spiced sponge, packed with walnuts and triple layered with a rich and sour frosted icing. 



Most of the lighting and furniture are for sale at the concession store opposite.
