THESE ARE PIECES WITH CHARACTER, FEATURING CLEVER PLAYS ON PROPORTIONS, WHICH UNVEIL A PLAYFUL AND EMBODIED DECORATIVE STYLE. STYLES INTERTWINE, TOUCHING UPON ART DECO AND MEMPHIS MOVEMENTS, GIVING BIRTH TO A SERIES OF TIMELESS OBJECTS. HIS GRAPHIC DESIGN BACKGROUND INFUSES HIS WORK WITH PATTERN. AN ABSTRACT FORM OF TYPOGRAPHY, UNDERSTOOD AS THE RHYTHM OF LETTERS ON PAPER, ADORNS SOME OF HIS CREATIONS, STAMP-DYED ONTO WOOD. THE HAND APPLICATION BRINGS UNIQUENESS AND IRREGULARITY TO THIS PRINTING AESTHETIC. TRAINED IN CABINETMAKING IN 2021, JONATHAN COHEN DESIGNS AND MANUFACTURES IN HIS WORKSHOP IN LA COURNEUVE."
