Hannah Bigeleisen is a Brooklyn-based designer and artist whose furniture and lighting are “highly crafted and designed for a lifetime of joy and inspiration. Trained in sculpture, Bigeleisen has developed a figurative language that is grounded in a deep understanding of shape, color, and texture. Her practice blurs the boundaries between form and function, art and design, by transferring the qualities of disparate disciplines onto one another. Through consistent experimentation and an interdisciplinary approach to new materials, she tests the relationship between physicality and sensory experience, resulting in the distinctive style for which she is known today. Bigeleisen’s work has been featured in leading design journals including Domino, Architectural Digest, Elle Decor España, The T List, Vogue, LUXE Magazine.
Art furniture, pigmented cement 2025
Petal Collection is a three-piece cement table series—Marguerite, Floro, and Helia—that blurs the boundary between the table as a functional object and a fluid abstraction of a flower. Each piece inspired by the repetitive, organic yet geometric structure of a flower in full bloom, visualizing both stability and lyricism through variations in scale and symmetry. Through layers of soft color and form, this series explores how repetition can evoke softness in a solid medium of cement.

Tall Stack Lamp, inspired by three basic shapes, the pyramid, sphere, and cube, is a playful exploration of the balance and tension among color, pattern, material, and shape. This unusual architectural structure is more than a simple stack of shapes: it reveals Bigeleisen’s knack for capturing the ephemeral as well as her intuitive visual language. This artwork has a cement base with an untreated surface and a hand-dyed fringe shade that, as the artist notes, “creates a soft, diffused light,” enhancing its sculptural presence.
