Biography

Jonathan Olivares was born in Boston in 1981 and studied industrial design at Pratt Institute. In 2006 he established his industrial design practice, which is based in Los Angeles. His designs are relational to their context, binding contemporary construction technology, choreography and archetypal plasticity.  Spanning industrial design, interiors, exhibitions and publishing, recent projects include: the exhibition Skateboard at the Design Museum London (2024);  Kvadrat's NYC flagship showroom (2022); a collaboration on interiors for DropBox™ with Johnston Marklee (2020); and Camper's store at Rockefeller Center (2019). Olivares’ work has been published internationally, was the recipient of the Compasso d’Oro, and is included in the permanent design collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, the Los Angeles County Art Museum and the Vitra Design Museum. In 2022 Olivares became the Senior Vice President of Design for Knoll.
