Born in 1971, Finn Stone has inherited all the exuberant energy, joy of life, and strength of conviction of his Irish parentage. Combined, these qualities provide him with an inexhaustible source of gregarious inspiration, which embraces the most diverse creative disciplines.
Stone is a creative and contemporary artist/designer – he is one of the UK’s leading makers of fibreglass furniture and has created a diverse range of renowned design products. Mostly known for his polyethylene ‘Ball Chair’ which is sold worldwide, Stone has moulded his love of eccentricity into the realm of sculptural art by creating unique one-off artworks which are often ‘tongue in cheek’ and laced with humour.
Stone often uses materials such as aluminium and fibreglass, as well as found and re-purposed everyday household items such as Paintbrushes, Lego and toy cars. He truly is a ‘remarkable eccentric’ and his work certainly achieves his own description of ‘fun, funky and fascinating’. His practice is governed both by his flamboyance and his overzealous imagination as he creates unique sculptural pieces that are a
by-product of his lateral thinking and are dripping in absurdity. Finn Stone’s artwork is in juxtaposition to challenge the banal as he simultaneously tips his hat to his own dream world.
