A. Jacob Marks

Marks’ work has earned national and international recognition for its singular marriage of austerity, warmth and timelessness, and an uncompromising technical mastery that is accentuated by the use of natural materials like wood, leather, stone and metal. His approach is deeply rooted in the philosophy that argues for the inextricability of good design, extraordinary workmanship, and sustainability. Distinguished for his organic, hand-shaped seating and spare, rectilinear casegoods and tables – unique in their negotiation of proportion, line and visual weight – Marks’ highly sought-after designs have been showcased in a range of residential and commercial spaces throughout the world.
