Shannon Jones
Operations Manager, Visible Futures Lab, School of Visual Arts
Shannon Rose Jones (she/her) is a Brooklyn-based furniture designer, maker, and writer. Her studio practice is predominantly inspired by the landscape of the American midwest, the tension between natural and unnatural materials, and vernacular furniture objects. She approaches object-making as a way to memorialize, and make tangible, ephemeral memories of landscape and place.
Shannon has a BFA in Woodworking and Printmaking from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She worked in theatre, furniture fabrication, and coffee before completing her MFA in Furniture Design at the Rhode Island School of Design in 2022. Some of her work and process can be found on Instagram @iamshannonrose.
