An award-winning, Climate Neutral certified design studio based in the heart of London, we stand for an alternative to mass production and disposable culture.
Since 2014, everything we make is designed to be a pleasure to use, to improve with age and become a cherished item passed down through generations.
Uniting the precision of modern manufacturing with the longevity of traditional handmade design, we create exceptional items in Great Britain designed for any journey, from commutes through the capital to adventures along the Jurassic Coast.
"Good design is about creating a product that fulfils a function reliably, is enjoyable to use, and then slips discreetly into the background when not required. By designing from a usability perspective and considering the whole life of the product, our aim is to create iconic designs that will last as long as you do."
Alasdair, Founder
Wingback products are made from exceptional materials and an attention to detail you can see, smell and feel. We are guided by the principles of our design heros, including Thomas Heatherwick, Le Corbusier, James Dyson and of course pioneering German industrial engineer Dieter Rams, ensuring everything we make is at all times minimal, beautiful and, without question, useful.
We believe good design includes minimising the impact our products have on the environment. That’s why we only source our materials from reputable local suppliers in the UK and Europe, our leather is a by-product of the meat industry and all our packaging is 100% recyclable.
We design everything in our London workshop, from our products and packaging to the bespoke knurling tool used to shape our machined products. And we offer personalisation wherever possible. This hand-crafted quality ensures every Wingback is as unique as the owner who carries it.
“In the end, the test of a good product is the satisfaction it gives you.”
