During Milan Design Week 2019, multimedia artist Matthew Day Jackson will present a collection of furniture, in collaboration with Finnish contemporary design company Made by Choice and the original inventors of high-pressure laminate, Formica Group.

Kolho by Matthew Day Jackson, Formica and Made by Choice.

The collection, titled Kolho, after the Finnish town that first inspired Jackson, will comprise a series of dining tables and chairs juxtaposed with a series of the artist’s intricate flower paintings. For the table and chairs, Jackson has designed his own Formica® surface that replicates, to scale, the surface of the moon.

As with previous work by Jackson, the paintings were created using lead, scorched wood and Formica® laminate, evoking Jan Breughel the Elder and Younger’s genre-defining floral works from the 16th and 17th centuries, made during a time of Dutch prosperity, colonial expansion and exploitation. Presented with the artist’s gallery, Hauser & Wirth, the paintings provide a backdrop and foundation for the viewer to engage with the deeper meanings of the Kolho collection.

Kolho by Matthew Day Jackson, Formica and Made by Choice.

Kolho was born from serendipitous circumstances when Jackson visited Finland in 2018 in preparation for a show at the Serlachius Museums (opening May 2019). While there, Jackson was interested in seeing the Formica® factory located in Kolho. The laminate material is of special significance to the artist, as a memory of the tabletops and kitchen cabinets of his childhood, and as a material central to his artistic practice (featured in the paintings on view). During this visit, he realized that the town had greater connections to the themes of space and mechanics in his work. Kolho was the birthplace of James Vehko (aka Jalmari Vehkomäki), an emigrant to the USA and designer of the first Ford Motor Company all-metal automobile body, after the Model A. Vehko’s son, also from Kolho, became head of Chrysler’s Space division.
