Honduran Mahogany "Ocean" Dining Table by Dakota Jackson

Dakota Jackson "Ocean" Dining table with hand-sculpted knife-shaped legs in solid Honduran mahogany supports a Honduran mahogany top with a sculpted slope edge. Its design draws inspiration from the bold forms of African Ashanti prayer stools and the striking influence of Czech Cubism, evident in its broad planes and fractured structural elements.

Dakota Jackson (born August 24, 1949) is an American furniture designer known for his eponymous furniture brand, Dakota Jackson, Inc., his early avant-garde works involving moving parts or hidden compartments, and his collaborations with the Steinway & Sons piano company.

Jackson helped establish the art furniture movement in the 1970s SoHo, later becoming a celebrity designer in the 1980s. His background in the world of stage magic helped him get his first commissions and is often cited as the source of his point of view.

Today, Dakota Jackson’s luxury chairs, sofas, tables, and other pieces are known for their stylish and expressive forms, so it’s perhaps not a surprise that the American contemporary furniture designer has spent a lifetime immersed in the arts.
