Artist and designer Hannah Bigeleisen creates sculptural lighting fixtures and other furnishings that are characterized by architectural forms, dazzling patterns and clean geometric lines.
Bigeleisen was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Her family moved several times, which meant that she spent time in Minnesota, Georgia, Alaska and New York. At an early age, Bigeleisen found herself intrigued by the works of minimalist and Conceptual artists who thrived during the early to the mid-20th century. She frequently explored the art spaces and museums in all of the cities in which her family settled.
At the age of 17, Bigeleisen moved to Ohio and enrolled in the Cleveland Institute of Art, where she met her future husband and fellow furniture designer Steven Bukowski. After earning her BFA in 2010, Bigeleisen decided to move to Brooklyn, New York, but relocated to Providence, Rhode Island, and completed the MFA program at RISD. The artist subsequently moved back to Brooklyn, where she finally put down roots and opened her design practice in 2016.
In addition to furniture, Bigeleisen creates sculptures, prints and paintings. Her series of Stack Lamps could be seen as representative of each of her pursuits. Inspired by architectural structures, Bigeleisen’s stately handmade Stack Lamps comprise wood frames covered in plaster cloth and lacquered papier-mâché. They resemble speckled stone monuments and have been lauded as playful and refreshingly innovative.
Bigeleisen’s work has been spotlighted in the pages of Architectural Digest and Interior Design. In 2018 she teamed up with the fashion designers at Blluemade for the brand’s autumn/winter fashion campaign. Bigeleisen also collaborated with her husband on a collection of furniture and an immersive installation for Sight Unseen.

Ebonized Solid Wood Stool by Simonini with Caned Back, Custom Height
By SIMONINI
Located in Vila Cordeiro, São Paulo
Flexibility, modern aesthetics, comfort, and softness define the essence of the Wing Collection. Inspired by the design of the B-52 aircraft, this concept gave us the freedom to create a collection that incorporates subtle elements, harmonic transitions, and thin yet resistant wood sections, bringing to life pieces that are both unique and contemporary. Our studio’s objective was to abstract most figurative references and arrive at the essence of this design, the true “cream,” refining every detail in a three-dimensional way. All our pieces are drawn according to Da Vinci’s golden section, and the Wing Collection is no exception. This ensures balanced proportions and harmony between each element, the result of a deep study of thicknesses and the relationship between every structural component. The Wing chairs and stools are crafted with passion, using premium materials and advanced manufacturing techniques, combined with precise quality control. Their beauty lies in the subtle variations of the wood veins, a natural expression of a living material that remains warm and elegant without ethnic appeal. The result is a collection of well-balanced, comfortable pieces that are delicate in design and sturdy in construction. All these qualities converge in a collection created to accompany our clients in their daily lives, like a gentle breeze, comfortable, pleasant, harmonic, and uplifting. We offer both caned and solid back versions, available as chairs or stools. The collection includes three natural solid wood tonalities as standard, as well as an ebonized black option. We can also harmonize the wood tone to approximate a particular target when needed. All woods and materials are certified, responsibly sourced, and carefully manufactured. The listing features the black ebonized solid wood stool...
