PARACONCEPTUAL
An interview with New York designer...core77.com :

Much of Tobi Wong's work plays between concept and beauty, exposing the similarities between art and design rather than blurring their boundaries. Unlike purely conceptual work - which often lacks a real appreciation for beauty, aesthetics, and a desire for consumption - his work often finds expression in real objects. He's coined the term Paraconceptual to describe it: "Of, relating to, or being conceptual."
