Inspired by the rich classical history of decorative objects and sumptuous table settings, David 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 work is highly labor-intensive. He recently created installations for Christian Dior flagship stores in Shanghai and New York and will soon install a permanent environmental installation for the West Hollywood public library.
