Smith is a multi-purpose storage unit designed for the overlapping interests of the home and office. Its storage area holds folders, books and other useful items. Attaching itself to tables, Smith helps convert a dining room into a temporary workspace. The design can also be used as a stool or side table, and its tapered proportion allows it to be stacked and placed out of the way. Smith is a flexible hybrid that allows its user to define its end purpose.
This modern furniture focuses great attention on creativity and taste of innovation, out of the ordinary, and with highest care for details both of design and of functionality.
About the Designer
Jonathan Olivares was born in Boston, USA in 1981. He graduated from Pratt Institute�s Industrial Design program in 2004 and worked for KGID in Munich in 2005. Returning to Boston in 2006, he founded Jonathan Olivares Design Research, an office specializing in furniture, product, lighting, interior and exhibition design as well as design focused research and writing. The office�s clients include innovative producers of contemporary furniture and lighting, distinguished museums for design and art, and leading publications on design and architecture. JODR�s physical designs are informed by the sociopolitical and historical research that the office is continuously and professionally engaged in.
In 2008 Olivares taught a design workshop at �CAL in Lausanne, Switzerland and was a guest designer in the School of the Art Institute of Chicago�s Designed Objects program. Olivares� products question conventional archetypes and define a culture of function that is specific for today�s activity and technology.
