Muecke Coffee & Side Table
Summary
To architect and sculptor Jonathan Muecke, material is elemental, repetition is clarity, and logic is freedom. In designing furniture for Knoll, Muecke applies the principles of his art practice to create Coffee and Side Tables that feel both raw and intentional with their primitive, rigorous, inviting forms.

Design Story
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.”
