DixonBaxi's REMIX: A raw, oversized love letter to the messy creative process
By
Abbey Bamford
Right out the toaster. Reliable, with some real depth.
Summary
DixonBaxi, the London-based design studio, has released REMIX — a deliberately oversized, green-covered book that serves as a raw, unfiltered look at 18 months inside their creative teams. Unlike a polished monograph, REMIX captures the messy, playful, and instinctive process behind their work, emphasizing collaboration, experimentation, and the joy of making things. The book's striking physical design (a 305×305mm green square) is meant to be impossible to ignore, reflecting the studio's philosophy that design should command attention and embrace imperfection.
Key quotes
· 3 pulledWhat we wanted was for people to be able to see it, whatever the distance.
Instead of a pristine monograph and polite collection of case studies, DixonBaxi has created an instinctive snapshot of 18 months inside their design teams, where process, play and a bit of semi-controlled chaos take center stage.
You simply can't ignore it, and that was the point.
