Wingback was first prototyped as one of several British club chair archetypes for the infamous Shoreditch house members club, a place where fun and work, drinking and eating merge seamlessly. The original idea was to design 6 contemporary mismatching archetypical club chairs, full size silhouettes were sketched on oversize bits of wallpaper and cardboard maquettes cobbled up with glue guns before being prototyped by master upholsterer George Smith. The wingback was the clear winner and made its debut in 2007.
