Precision, Purity and Permanence
Our commitment to precision manufacturing and the spirit of adventure has taken us from humble beginnings in a tiny Bristol workshop to an award-winning, climate neutral certified design studio based in the heart of London.
Today, operating as a small-scale luxury company, we’re making useful everyday tools from exceptional materials and a commitment to high-quality bespoke British craftsmanship.
To be good, you actually have to do something. ~Yvon Chouinard, 1% of the planet
Less but better
Wingback products 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.
Our products are built to last, with reliable utility that doesn’t wear out, thanks to our ‘buy once’ philosophy. It’s why we only use high-quality materials to extend life-time and suppliers that are trusted craftsmen who know their materials well.
MADE RESPONSIBLY
Adventure needs a healthy planet, so we strive to protect it. Most of our manufacturers are based in England and the UK, limiting our carbon footprint and encouraging locally produced materials, while helping build a local economy. That’s just part of our commitment to 1% for the planet, along with plastic-free, recyclable packaging and a carbon neutral operation.
MADE THE RIGHT WAY
From our stationary collection to our fasteners, every sleekly-designed metal part used is made to aero-space standards. Our leather is of the highest quality, using vegetable tanning for natural colour ways and a more sustainable process.
USEFUL. ENDURING. ICONIC.
"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
“In the end, the test of a good product is the satisfaction it gives you.”
Forever onward
