Thesauros Chest

Damian Jones is a Welsh-born, Los Angeles-based furniture designer renowned for his sculptural creations that combine traditional craftsmanship with a contemporary edge. His work blends exotic woods with hand-cut bronze tiles, forming intricate, faceted patterns that highlight his distinct design language. Each piece reflects Jones’ deep reverence for materiality and craftsmanship, resulting in furniture that is both commanding and multi-dimensional.

Drawing inspiration from a wide range of influences—from the ornamentation of Italian Art Nouveau to the bold, tactile forms of East African tribal art—Jones’ work defies conventional aesthetics. The intricate bronze detailing, reminiscent of celestial patterns, imbues each piece with a luminous, jewel-like quality. The hand-placed tiles, often irregular and spontaneous in their arrangement, showcase subtle asymmetries that highlight the craftsmanship involved, offering a sense of authenticity that contrasts with the “mass-produced”.

Jones’ furniture balances a mid-century aesthetic with functionality, resulting in designs that are at once timeless and distinctly modern. Working primarily on commission, each project is a reflection of his unique process, where the form evolves organically, allowing spontaneity and precision to coexist in harmony.
