Muecke Dining Table
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 Dining Table is available in two sizes.

The clarity of repetition
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.”
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.
