natural materials. The forms that intrigue him are often rustic in origin.
Wilson studied industrial design at the University of Technology. After graduating in 1991, he formed a cooperative workshop with fellow graduates and developed a collection of experimental furniture and objects. One of his early designs, the Swivel Chair, became part of the permanent collection at Sydney’s Powerhouse Museum in 1996.
