rip tobias wong.

i was shocked to find out that tobias wong passed away sunday at the age of 35. this young and extremely talented designer will be missed.

a short bio from citizen:citizen:
originally from canada, tobias wong (b.1974) studied art at cooper union in new york city, where he graduated in sculpture. veering across disciplines and materials, wong has created an oeuvre that is immediately accessible, yet contentious. he pursues his own brand of conceptualism, the self coined “paraconceptual,” and “postinteresting,” and uses design as a medium, as he says, to expose the similarities between art and design, rather than to blur their boundaries.
