Design is mainly the study of materials and their potential, an on-goingĀ challenge to create new and unpredictable forms. That’s the challenge that fascinates Jason Mizrahi, a young American designer who presented hisĀ latest collection at the Salone del Mobile in Milan lastĀ April.

Born and raised in Los Angeles, he now lives and works in New York, where he graduated in architecture from the Pratt Institute. Through his latest work, Jason explores the techniques that push the limits of the materials leading them to create unexpected shapes, revealing the beauty of their maximum expression.

The latest collection created by Jason Mizrahi consists of aĀ series of chairs with poetic names: Belcanto,Ā A VolareĀ and Alko.

Belcanto is aĀ limited editionĀ piece, made of wood, and this chair recalls a fluid and dynamicĀ element, almost poetic.Ā A VolareĀ is essentially a sculpture and its design creates seamlessĀ lines, strong and continuous. The last element of this series is Alko, in which Jason, influenced byĀ the works of Joseph Albers and Mark Rothko, createsĀ a chair characterized by rectangular shapes, creatingĀ a sequence of three-dimensional compositions. In this wayĀ AlkoĀ can beĀ customizedĀ in everyĀ space.
