Madeline Isakson

Madeline Isakson transforms found objects and materials through emerging and traditional fabrication techniques to explore our culture of consumerism. Ubiquitous, mass-produced items we come into contact with daily are recontextualized and distorted until they become visible again in a new light—a new form that retains the blurry outlines of cultural memories. Driven by an exploration of new processes and materials, Madeline’s work continues to evolve and spans a wide range of collectible design objects, from lights to furniture to purely sculptural pieces.

Madeline’s work has been exhibited internationally—notably during Milan Design Week, Denfair in Australia, and the Museum of Craft and Design in San Francisco, CA—it has also been featured in The New York Times, New York Magazine, Wallpaper*, Dezeen and more.
