By Christine Pittel Designer Dakota Jackson uses transparency and opacity to conjure two new furniture collections whose elusive elegance is no illusion Michael Weschler Tabletops that practically levitate and doors that reveal as they conceal come naturally to New York designer Dakota Jackson. On the new Bump Wave Chair, Jackson articulates the separate parts, and the half-inch gap between arms and seat makes both appear to float weightlessly. Laminated glass fogs our view of the Mainframe bookcase's contents. Jackson warms cool whites with bentwood legs, and sets gentle curves against straight lines.
Space passes through and around the light, skeletal frameworks.
