The F.ACE Hook is sand-cast in solid brass and was designed especially for the Ace Hotel in Sydney.
The casting process involves liquefying metal and pouring it into a sand mould. Because manufacturing occurs in small batches, slight variations will be visible from one hook to another. These production marks may include slight pour ripples or surface pitting.
The original finish will oxidise and darken over time to reveal a distinctive patina. If preferred, use a quality metal polish to restore brightness.
Sold individually, and delivered with matching screws.

Henry Wilson was born in Sydney Australia. Graduated honors in Visual Arts (woodwork) at Australian National University, Canberra (2002-2005 BVA (Hons.)) and received the HSP Huygens scholarship at The Design Academy Eindhoven for Postgraduate studies (2008-2010) MA (Des.)
In 2010 he set up a studio for Design in Sydney, notable for the readapting of several disused shipping containers on a vacant industrial site. Though multidisciplinary; the studio is currently focussing on locally produced furniture and lighting. Many items are available as self-build components or fully resolved ‘in-house’ pieces. The collection continues to grow organically; committed to honestly resolved concepts with a focus on longevity.
Whether it be revisiting existing objects or producing new work, Henry is dedicated to experimenting on the process of design and production.
