Muecke Chair
Summary
Drawing from his expertise in architecture and sculpture, Jonathan Muecke created an all-wood dining collection for Knoll. He rounded the wood into cylindrical dowels and kept the end grain visible to give the user freedom to enjoy all the qualities of this natural material. Offered in a choice of woods, the Muecke Chair is available as a side chair or armchair.

Animating space
Trained as an architect, Jonathan Muecke thinks more about spatial relationships than any individual object. “I don’t think about chairs and tables as objects,” he says. “I think about a chair in terms of material—as a marker of human scale, a physical record in relational space.
Whether he’s creating furniture or sculpture, Muecke seeks to identify and express the internal logic of his materials. It’s a process he finds generous and freeing. “Only when something has internal logic does it have a have a chance at external relationships with other things.
Jonathan Muecke
From his Minneapolis studio, Jonathan Muecke (pronounced “Mickey”) strips objects to their essential elements, nearly to the point of abstraction. Often using just one material—wood, aluminum, carbon fiber—his practice challenges the boundaries of art, architecture, and design. Trained as an architect, Muecke holds an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art.
