Samuel Wilkinson ist bekannt für seinen Entwurf des Arbre de Flonville in Lausanne, Schweiz, ein bekannter zeitgenössischer Designer. Im Jahr 2007 gründete er sein eigenes Industriedesign-Studio und entwarf im Jahr 2008 die berühmte skulpturale Metallbaum-Installation, die seine internationale Karriere einleitete.
Passion and expertise have led Samuel Wilkinson in 2011 to the creation of the Plumen 001 light bulb, the product that earned him the “2011 Design of the Year” award from the London Design Museum. He also designed the ‘Vessel Series’, blown glass lamps created for the British lighting brand Decode Londo. Some of his collections have been exhibited in several international museums, such as the V&A in London and the MoMA in New York.
