Strange Case Company

The Strange Case Company showcases the collective work of BAFTA and RSA award-winning designers Jamie Durrant and Wayne Coley.

Established in 2009, the company produces a range of unique prints. Their works distill the aesthetics of the ‘cabinet of curiosities’ into a two-dimensional form, playfully blending striking imagery with counterintuitive juxtapositions and intricate details to construct new and unexpected connections between objects and the viewer.

Viewing their work as the product of cooly executed design, rather than artistic self-expression, Durrant and Coley both benefited from successful design careers before joining forces as The Strange Case Company. After an interrupted stint at art college, Durrant started work in TV and film production design, including time assisting revered special effects expert Geoff Portass. He went on to work in museum animatronics and video game design, for which he was awarded a BAFTA. Having originally studied product design at Ravensbourne College, Coley’s career has seen him more involved in the aesthetics and practicalities of interior and landscape design. He achieved an RSA award for his design work for Reebok.
