Sebastian ErraZuriz furniture and artworks get the mind racing

Sebastian ErraZuriz makes furniture and artworks that prompt you to step back and look again, says Carol O’Callaghan.

The sideboard is my favourite piece of furniture, so when I recently came across a picture of one on Facebook going by the intriguing name of Explosion, and which opened in a way that suggested it was actually exploding, a serious play with Google was required.

It unveiled the designer maker as Sebastian ErraZuriz, a Chilean born, London-raised artist and designer who straddles the boundaries between the two disciplines of art and function and which has resulted in a body of work created by him which includes furniture, installation and performance art.
