Jorge Pardo
LA-based artist Jorge Pardo turns us on mostly because his design looks delicious. Sure it has a fresh breath of a minimalist modern aesthetic that evokes a…blah, blah, blah. But honestly, his pendant lamp fixtures kind of look like marzipan. You can catch a glimpse of all his work in his first monograph, coming out on Phaidon imprint. Or, you can see Pardo’s work, such as Pier, (built for the 1997 Skulpture Projekte in Munster, Germany) and Mountain Bar (designed in 2003 for L.A.’s Chinatown). We’d mostly like to see his stuff hanging above our kitchen table.
