Wrongwoods seems like an adequate description of the colors used for the different wooden home furnishing pieces offered through Established & Sons- but really it’s the combined last names of British artist Richard Woods and designer Sebastian Wrong, as part of a collaboration project hosted by E&S. The unfashionable, yet recognizable Wood pattern used for this line of utilitarian cabinets conveys a fashionable message in the unusually colored items. The typical materials used for these pieces are: timber, plywood, paint, clear lacquer and sometimes 6mm toughened glass.

It isn’t a peg meant to fit in a triangular block of wood. But it is made of spun small striped pine and lacquer wood. It is not an umbrella to float atop your summer cocktail. But its surface will safely steady your summer cocktail, while its stem is sturdily planted in the grass-adorned soil, or wherever. Andreas Engesvik’s first solo project for Wallpaper* in Italy is a delightfully whimsical lawn table, available in three colors.
