David Wiseman

About this book

This publication accompanies the first-ever solo exhibition of works by Los Angeles-based designer David Wiseman (born 1981). Inspired by the rich classical history of decorative objects and sumptuous table settings Wiseman explores a multilayered vocabulary of manmade and biomorphic forms such as a blossoming tree a spider web or a glacier. His limited-edition designs range from place-card holders vases and chandeliers to furniture and architectural installations. Constantly exploring new ways of working with media such as porcelain metals and exquisite Czech crystal Wiseman is extraordinarily hands-on and his works extremely labor-intensive. He recently created installations for Christian Dior flagship stores in Shanghai and New York and is soon to install a permanent environmental installation for the West Hollywood public library. A stunning overview of Wisemans career to date the publication reveals an artist of extraordinary ability and depth.
