The modern table
The reimagination on a small dining or patio table where the focus is the base. The glass top enables the viewer to see into the base center where the subsections converge. The multi cubic design with sharp edge and flat faces pulls attention as brutalism. The color is a rich dark blood cherry which is meant to seduce the viewer. Its not a side piece , as this table demands attention as if it nearly shouts for it. The idea was based from every perspective you would be approaching an X shape figure, all ways finding symmetry. As I was all ways told, X marks the spot and you have arrived.
Who am I?
That's a good question, I am an independent artist that lives in Orange county. I have dabbled in many professions, but felt the most content making things I personally want to see. I have a huge interest and fascination of how things are made, and so ended up learning many things about manufacturing processes. The last 8 years working varies places each dealing with different processes has eventually led to my own attempt of making quality objects. I dream of making entire designed houses, cars and boats, but I believe that will come further along my lifetime. Currently, My obsession is making everyday furniture but with a hyper focus on a certain details. I am very open to do commission work, and so if you have a project, feel free to email byjmpdesign@gmail.com . Also, If you made it this far and havent realized my name is Jesse Perez, well that it.
Values
Quality, unique and inclusive are the foundation of what I seek to put forth. Personally I have been frustrated with cheap and bad manufacturing, so I understand; I will pursue to produce items of longevity and detail. Unique as I can be, there will be inspiration, although I will try my very best to make pieces to stand alone amongst even themselves. Inclusive is a very clear mission for myself, as I understand that most manufactory and labor intensive work are done by the underserved and minority groups. As I belong to a sub fraction of this group, I understand the wanting to lift and change the society and so vouch to do my own part. This first come as ensuring that I support my local businesses owned by minorities. I look forward to the day I can personally pay people to work for me, but requiring myself to at an enhanced premium pay rate so to encourage self growth. I want to do things that build opportunity not for only myself, but those around me as well.
Goals
Reaching the furthest corners of the world as a artist/designer/engineer. I have the uncompromising need to create, and there is no stopping. The idea of being a privately known is fine, or even acclaimed and museum bound. I will still be creating, as to make the next thing whatever it is better than what I did prior. I can live with that ambiguous answer, and I hope you can too.
