FORTUNE CHAIR, 2024









Justin and Monling are foodies. If you look closely, each JUMBO project has a gustatory association. Sometimes it’s a color or a texture. Other times, it’s a shape. Knowing this, you don’t have to search hard for the inspiration behind the Fortune Chair.


The Fortune Chair for Heller is the ultimate expression of JUMBO’s aesthetic values—It is both joyful in approach and technical in execution.

SNOW FENCE CHAIR, 2023









During the pandemic, inexpensive construction materials like snow fence and jersey barriers were repurposed to cordon off outdoor dining sheds and pedestrianize public streets. Our Snow Fence Chair continues this line of aesthetic inquiry, reimagining the flexible polypropylene membrane as a static loveseat.

FOLDONT CHAIR, 2023









Foldont is a rejection of the utilitarian chair. It follows the morphology of the common folding chair, but uses thick members and luxurious birdseye veneer. Created in response to AI-generated image making, Foldont weighs over 50 pounds and refuses to fold.

BARRICADE CHAIR, 2022









In the shadow of BLM, January 6, and the Dobbs’ rollback of abortion rights, our Barricade Chair reconsiders the chair as political catalyst. The loveseat takes the form of a protest barricade that has been bent into chair-form, suggesting that something meant to divide can also bring us together.
