Muecke Dining Table- Knoll

Jonathan Muecke

Material comes first for every Jonathan Muecke project. For this collection he chose wood because it’s common and warm. “Plus, it has grain,” he says. “We can think of this as material.”
Jonathan Muecke produced an extensive series of hand-built prototypes to develop the collection’s distinct joinery, which he then repeated across the collection. Here and in his art practice, Muecke explores the stabilizing effects of repetition. A note on his studio desk reads: Repetition allows an object to be found in as few decisions as possible. He explains, “It’s a preference for a certain type of object—one that isn’t a thousand decisions, but three.”
