A French Breton schooled in Montreal and now living in Copenhagen, furniture designer Jonathän Jouan finds inspiration in the folkloric past. Combining studies in history of art with cabinetmaking, in his work today, Jonathän taps into Japanese folklore and addresses how we live. His pieces are transformative, alternating between shielding private space and inviting the outside world in. Jonathän brings community and engaging with our environment into play in all his designs, which are unique and limited. In his collection of Eggÿ mirrors, the back of each mirror is as much of a statement as the face. Jonathän puts straw, wood and traditional aesthetics to the service of design solutions for the future.
