MEANDER, 2026
Stainless Steel
130 x 35 x 35 inches
Jumbo’s sculpture for the rooftop of the RiverRenew Pumping Station, “Meander”, is a testament to AlexRenew’s commitment to eliminate sewage discharges to the Potomac. Formed
from a single sheet of 1-inch thick stainless steel,
the sculputure is cut, bent and twisted
to suggest the slow winding curve of a river. The work represents Jumbo’s ongoing efforts to achieve the maximum expression with the least material effort.
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.

COUP D’ETAT, 2024
Detroit, MI
Jumbo’s concept design for Coup D’Etat is a study in contrasts. Inside an OMA-designed white box, Jumbo proposed a central display podium of pillows squished by jagged pieces of Jerusalem marble. This concept renders the retail shopping experience as both commerce and religion: The podium as bazar and the point-of-service as sacrificial altar.
Whitebox: OMA New York
Developer: Library Street Collective
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 stubbornly refuses to fold.
Shown at Sight Unseen Collection in May 2023.
