Board Game Cabinet Wall Mounted Shelf in Waxed Aluminum Plate by Jonathan Nesci

Jonathan Nesci (b. 1981, Chicago, Illinois) is a multidisciplinary artist based in the Chicagoland area. His practice encompasses fine art, sculpture, and furniture, positioned at the intersection of art, architecture, design, and material culture. Working in close collaboration with a guild of high-craft makers throughout the Midwest, Nesci employs both traditional and digital fabrication processes to realize work across a wide range of materials and finishes. Nesci's made-to-order works are placed through partnerships with interior designers, architects, landscape architects, creative directors, museum curators and art consultants, allowing each project to respond precisely to its architectural and cultural context. In 2009, Nesci received a Design Award from Wallpaper magazine for the Library Bookcase, which entered the permanent collection of the Indianapolis Museum of Art in 2015. His General Desk, presented in The New, the inaugural exhibition at Volume Gallery in 2010, was acquired by the Art Institute of Chicago. Nesci now works exclusively through direct collaboration with the creative trades, placing work into private art collections.
