Jack Craig

Happy 20th birthday @designmiami ! Thank you @glenn_adamson for putting together Design Miami 2.0 - a special exhibition featuring some amazing work from all over the world. I was so honored to be a part of it! Also thank you to all the helping hands to pull it all off - takes a village.

Over a year in the making, this chair is one of my favorite works ever because it was a collaboration with my friends @jackcraigstudio and @dale.hardiman . It’s now on view at @usefulobjectsgallery in Melbourne, Australia for Melbourne Design Week. For those unfamiliar, Jack’s practice uses unconventional materials to propose improvised situations. Dale and I were given one of his open-ended “molded carpet” explorations (the colorful blob on the corner) and asked where it might have come from. Like archaeologists reconstructing a long-buried skull, we developed a visual and material language in response to the form Jack provided and reconstructed something that may never have existed. The chair was made and funded through @guykeulemans and @trentjansenstudio ongoing project titled “Transformative Repair”, which asks designers and makers to rework broken or obsolete objects, transforming not just their form but their cultural value.

We're grateful to Isabelle Weiss and Wava Carpenter for their incredible effort and dedication to creating Jack Craig’s new catalogue! It’s fantastic! Contact DKG to order your copy ✍️ @jackcraigstudio @isabelle_m_w @cllctranonymous #wavacarpenter #davidkleingallery #jackcraig #contemporarydesign

Where silver gathers, something begins to shift. Vernal as a moment of emergence, where new forms begin to take shape. 🩶 This work by Jack Craig (@jackcraigstudio ) will be on view tomorrow at 𝙑𝙚𝙧𝙣𝙖𝙡 2026. Blurring the line between function and form, Craig’s practice merges scientific inquiry with intuition, treating materials without hierarchy, bronzed stone, industrial elements, and organic matter brought into equal conversation. What emerges feels otherworldly: a familiar object transformed, encrusted, and evolving somewhere between furniture, artifact, and living structure. The piece holds a quiet tension between precision and spontaneity, where material becomes both experiment and expression. Join us tomorrow, April 25 at 6pm, as 𝙑𝙚𝙧𝙣𝙖𝙡 opens at @buffaloprescott . Select works are available to preview and inquire about via @artsy . Visit the link in bio to explore and secure your tickets today. — Pictured: #JackCraig, Silvered Stone Light, 2017, silver and marble, 21” x 14.5” x 9.5”.

Thank you to Design Boom for publishing this article on Jack Craig! (Link in bio.) 🔸”For designer Jack Craig, color plays an important role in the process. Because the carpet remnants originate from different interiors, the resulting palette reflects a range of domestic tones, from muted neutrals to saturated synthetic hues. During melting and compression, these colors blend, distort, and intensify, producing irregular patterns and gradients across the molded surfaces. The textures created by the collapsed fibers further amplify the visual variation, forming dense, tactile fields that resemble hardened fabric or thickened hide. The project approaches both natural and synthetic materials as open fields for experimentation. Carpet is treated less as a finished product and more as a mined resource whose properties can be explored through manipulation. Through repeated trials, the process becomes a hybrid of craft and material research, combining hands-on fabrication with exploratory testing.” -Edited by Christina Vergopoulou @jackcraigstudio @designboom #jackcraig #designboom #davidkleingallery #contemporaryartanddesign #contemporarydesign

Thank you so much to Glenn Adamson for this amazing opportunity to exhibit at Design Miami! Don’t miss out…visit us before the exhibition ends tomorrow evening. . . . @jackcraigstudio @glenn_adamson @designmiami #designmiami #jackcraig #miamiartweek #miami #davidkleingallery

Always a blast hanging out with the Hawtin brothers in Miami! Catch Richie tonight at @factorytown_ from 3-5am. 🔹BTW, if you’ve ever been to Jack’s studio, you’ve heard Richie’s beats! . . @matthewhawtin @richiehawtin @jackcraigstudio @designmiami #jackcraig #miamiartweek #richiehawtin #matthewhawtin

📍Do not miss Design Talk with Jack Craig tomorrow, Friday December 5th, at 1pm! 🔸My studio practice operates through intentional staging of unconventional materials to force improvised situations and impromptu structure. I work to engage elements of the surrounding environment through a gauntlet of material abuses. Each is a measure of its possibilities – a way of parsing foreign physicalities into ordered function and purpose. -Jack Craig, 2025 . . . @jackcraigstudio @designmiami @glenn_adamson #designmiami #jackcraig #davidkleingallery #miamiartweek

Design Miami is in full swing! 🔸Stop by to see Jack Craig’s new work, including Penumbra Molded Carpet Lamp and Rust Molded Carpet Chair through Sunday, December 7th (booth S05). 📸by @tiano_joe . . @jackcraigstudio @designmiami #designmiami #miamiartweek #jackcraig #davidkleingallery #detroitartist

@JackCraigStudio 's "Vegetable Sheep Molded Carpet Mirror" is included in 𝙎𝙚𝙚𝙣/𝙎𝙘𝙚𝙣𝙚: 𝘼𝙧𝙩𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙅𝙚𝙣𝙣𝙞𝙛𝙚𝙧 𝙂𝙞𝙡𝙗𝙚𝙧𝙩 𝘾𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣, a group exhibition curated by @LauraMottCurator and @NickCaveArt at the Shepherd. Curator Laura Mott shares: Jack Craig's design work uses unconventional materials he subjects to heat and pressure to coax them into otherworldly forms. His "'Vegetable Sheep Molded Carpet Mirror' (2022) uses melted carpet; reflected in the three-piece mirror." This exhibition marks the first public presentation from the @Jennifer__Gilbert Collection and centers on portraiture and community. Through diverse approaches to the human figure—ranging from representational to abstract—the show reveals a spectrum of human experience and self-exploration. Mirrored and reflective works expand on ideas of seeing. #JackCraig #theShepherdDetroit
