"BOTH DESIGNER AND ARTISAN CABINETMAKER, JONATHAN COHEN WORKS WITH WOOD THROUGH A SCULPTURAL LANGUAGE OF VARIABLE GEOMETRIC FORMS. HIS CREATIONS, FULL OF CHARACTER AND MARKED BY CLEVER PLAYS ON PROPORTION, UNFOLD A DECORATIVE EXPRESSION THAT IS BOTH PLAYFUL AND EMBODIED.

STYLES INTERTWINE, GENTLY TOUCHING ON ART DECO AND MEMPHIS MOVEMENTS, GIVING BIRTH TO A SERIES OF TIMELESS OBJECTS. HIS BACKGROUND IN GRAPHIC DESIGN IMBUES HIS WORK WITH PATTERN — AN ABSTRACT FORM OF TYPOGRAPHY, UNDERSTOOD AS THE RHYTHM OF LETTERS ON PAPER, WHICH ADORNS SOME OF HIS STAMP-DYED WOODEN PIECES.

THE HAND APPLICATION ADDS UNIQUENESS AND IRREGULARITY TO THIS PRINT-INSPIRED AESTHETIC.
TRAINED IN CABINETMAKING IN 2021, JONATHAN COHEN DESIGNS AND PRODUCES HIS WORKS IN HIS STUDIO LOCATED IN LA COURNEUVE."
