Madeline Isakson

Brooklyn-based furniture designer and maker who transforms discarded and mass-produced materials -- aluminum cans, packing foam, cardboard, and resin -- into sculptural lighting and furniture. A graduate of California College of the Arts (BFA) and Cranbrook Academy of Art (MFA), she teaches at Pratt Institute alongside an independent studio practice examining American consumer culture and waste. Work has shown at Milan Design Week, Denfair, and the Museum of Craft and Design.
