Laguna Table by Jason Robinson

Jason Robinson is a Canadian designer and artist based in Brooklyn, NY. His practice cuts across a wide creative spectrum - from art, furniture and lighting to humanitarian and consumer products. At every opportunity, he brings his own hands to his work, keeping a human-centered approach as the focus. Many of his projects invite users to engage with his pieces - often through touch - allowing them to create their own personal experiences. Jason's work has been showcased at the Museum of Modern Art, Design Miami and WantedDesign Manhattan. Born in Canada, Jason attended Stanford University (BSc, MA) in 1989. After graduating, he began his design career at the international design firm, IDEO, which eventually led him to open his own design consultancy. His work for international agencies such as UNICEF, has appeared in over twenty countries and touched the lives of over a million children. "From my perspective - art, design and all that fall in between - are part of the human experience. It is the exploration of the human experience that drives my creative practice. Sometimes this means problem solving. Sometimes this means expressing or amplifying an idea. Often this means creating products or experiences that elevate our sense of self and our community." - Jason Robinson
