Sebastian ErraZuriz was raised in London. He achieved a degree in industrial design in the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile in Santiago,^[2] later completing a fine arts master's degree at New York University.^[3]

Practice & works

Designer and artist, the work of Sebastian ErraZuriz "demands us to pause and reconsider familiar objects",^[4] "demonstrating that things are never quite what they seem".^[5] Sebastian ErraZuriz's "surprising and compelling creations blur the boundaries between contemporary art, design, and craft",^[6] as he "expands the concept of furniture".^[7] "Fearless innovator",^[8] he can equally be considered as an activist, "blending utility, expressionism and personal vision"^[9] in his creations. Armed with "unabashed confidence, his work is conceptual with a subtle social consciousness",^[10] never hesitating to tackle political or religious situations.
"Humorously avant-garde"^[11] thanks to his ability to incite laughter, "his experimental style provokes thought and comedy".^[12] Voracious workaholic, ErraZuriz "gleefully defies the prevalent orthodoxy that delineates art and design".^[13] "The range of his output is mind-boggling",^[14] from public art installations to furniture, everyday objects or wearable pieces; ErraZuriz has the cleverness to transform common things and expression of "nature, even at its darkest into something sleek and glamorous",^[15] "changing the way we view and interact with seemingly innocuous objects".^[16] Having fun with his "talent, humor and drama",^[17] his works impresses, "generating questioning on reality as it is often described".^[18] Focused on "the dichotomies of life and death",^[19] his creative stimuli lie in a "distant and more spiritual place".^[20]
