Sebastian Errazuriz was born in Chile and raised in London. He is an artist designer who works with an experimental style that stretches the definition of interior design while blurring the already thin line between art, form and design. His work provokes thought and humor in everyday objects. simple transformations and alterations result in unexpected products, fashion and art pieces. Some of our favorite examples of these transformations are presented below:
We also love his furniture collection, especially the shelves and the fruit table.
Errazuriz’s studies of industrial design and sculpture were divided between Santiago, Washington, Edinburgh and New York.
