Sebastian Wrong
Creating pieces for revered design houses like Flos and Established & Sons, Sebastian Wrong has wasted no time in leaving his own indelible mark on the design world. This British-born designer has a background in fine art, something that is clearly evident in the work produced. The refined functionality of Wrong's work makes it accessible and unobtrusive. The minimalist charm and structured form ensures that it holds a very relevant place in the contemporary home.
Streamlined & Uncomplicated Design
Steering clear of the overtly brash ostentatious mode of design, Sebastian Wrong has developed a range of products that, whilst understated, maintain a high level of stylistic allure. The range of Spun Lights for Flos are the perfect example of this. With its simplistic and slender conical base produced in spun metal with circular aluminum diffuser, the Spun light has become a firm favourite within the realms of designer lighting. Available in both a table lamp and a floor lamp, it is an eye-catching yet simplistic design, which combines aesthetic splendour with contemporary practicality - the embodiment of form and function working in harmony.
Humour & Refinement
This theme is continued elsewhere within Wrong's portfolio, notably in the Font Clock and Convex Mirror. The latter of these is a quirky piece inspired by the humble car rear-view mirror; although at 90cm by 30cm it's a fully functional mirror ideally suited to homeowners with a sense of humour as well as designer taste.
Similarly the Font Clock is a slightly larger-than-life timepiece; which, whilst maintaining the fundamentals of a standard clock - including that statutory 24 hour timing, as well as day and date features on the larger models - blends it with unerring originality, featuring as it does bold text in (as the title suggests) a variety of fonts.
