Jason Mizrahi
Jason Mizrahi is an American designer based in Los Angeles whose work exists at the intersection of furniture, sculpture, and architecture. Educated in architecture at the Pratt Institute in New York, he brings an architectural sensibility to his collectible designs, creating pieces defined by fluid forms, precise proportions, and a refined sense of restraint. His practice challenges conventional notions of furniture, transforming functional objects into sculptural compositions that are both expressive and purposeful.
Working across seating, tables, and lighting, Mizrahi explores new manufacturing techniques and material possibilities to achieve unexpected forms while maintaining clarity and elegance. Characterized by minimal silhouettes and a strong attention to line and balance, his work has been exhibited internationally, including at SaloneSatellite in Milan, Maison&Objet, the London Design Fair, and the Architectural Digest Design Show. Through this approach, he continues to blur the boundary between art and function, creating objects that feel simultaneously quiet, bold, and timeless.
Interview
Los Angeles, CA.
I remember wondering around the gift shop at the MOMA and was drawn to an entire row of postcards displaying the most influential paintings from all around the world. Seeing them side by side each with their own creative expression, created such a visual impact that inspired a new world of creativity for me.
I wouldn’t say I’ve worked in the art and design field as much as I have always been connected to it. I’ve always been a very visual and intuitive person, which has created an ongoing curiosity to see and experience what others are creating and keeps inspiring me to contribute to the journey as well.
The impression one gets from experiencing something new is a feeling I continue to chase.
My creative process is all about bringing hidden potential to the surface and creating compositions that showcase something new.
I prefer to dedicate my time preparing myself creatively by isolating myself from any interruption and just allowing myself to preserve a clear mind dedicated to design.
Creating striking compositions that embody the perfect balance between design and art.
Don’t look at things for what they are, but rather what they can become. Learn to train your eyes and trust your intuition. If you can teach yourself how to make things, you’re already at a huge advantage because you’ll never find someone who will care about your creations as much as you.
The Minimalist Movement.
I went to school to study architecture and have always been influenced by minimalist design that created a strong composition that was both silent and powerful. I was always drawn to architecture by John Parson, Marcio Kogan, and Santiago Calatrava. I’m also inspired by designers who achieved creative breakthroughs, such as Alexander McQueen, Ron Arad, Rick Owens, and Zaha Hadid.
