Muecke Low Tables
2026 Muecke Low Tables
Jonathan Muecke 2026
Architect and sculptor Jonathan Muecke applies the principles of his art practice to furniture design, treating material, repetition, and structural logic as primary design elements. His Coffee and Side Tables for Knoll use these principles to establish a direct relationship between material and form.
The tables feature simple, geometric forms defined by repetition and precise construction. Their restrained approach produces a balance of raw materiality and formal rigor, while maintaining a functional and accessible character.
Jonathan Muecke
Jonathan Muecke’s practice examines the relationship between materials, objects, and space through processes of reduction and abstraction. Often working with a single material, he develops objects through repeated forms, scales, and proportions. This approach draws on architectural and artistic theory while resisting fixed distinctions between furniture, art, and architecture. Trained as an architect, Muecke interned at Herzog & de Meuron in Basel before studying art at Cranbrook Academy of Art and establishing his practice in Minneapolis.
Muecke’s work has been presented internationally since his 2011 solo debut at Volume Gallery in Chicago. His projects include the architectural pavilion for Design Miami in 2014 and an exhibition at Maniera Gallery in Brussels in 2016, developed in dialogue with Juliaan Lampens’ Van Wassenhove House. In 2022, the Art Institute of Chicago presented his first major museum exhibition. His work is held in collections including the Museum of Arts and Design, Art Institute of Chicago, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, CNAP, and Vitra Design Museum.
