I talked to Yannick Aubinais, the showroom's manager, about the business and its mission. Tell us more about the showroom? The showroom stands as a melange of different cultures, periods and nostalgia, teaming with elegant items and inspiring pieces that won’t tire over time. Created to last and to be handed down through generations, Jonathan still makes furniture himself, because “making” is key to his design process. His hands-on approach has facilitated much of the brands’ boundary pushing in technique and manufacturing, all while reviving an ancient craft. Jonathan Charles Fine Furniture has since evolved to incorporate JC Modern and JC Edited, as well as a successful manufacturing arm for a significant number of luxury brands in the global designer furniture market. Jonathan’s initial vision to create future heritage products and reworks of timeless pieces remain rooted in the brands’ DNA. Seamlessly integrated into the large showroom is the designers corner that showcases under-the-radar artisans who produce radical and exciting work. For Jonathan, it is like giving back, providing other designers a platform where they can display their work.
