David Nosanchuk is an inspired American artist and architectural designer based in New York City.  His early studies at Cranbrook, designed by the renowned Saarinen family and considered the Bauhaus of America, continues to inform his design philosophy.  Nosanchuk is a multi-hyphenate whose work explores art, objects, design, and architecture.

In 1991, Nosanchuk earned a degree in Art History from the University of Michigan, followed by a Masters of Architecture at Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc).  During his time in Los Angeles, David became a master woodworker, creating commissioned works and teaching furniture making.  In 2000, he launched his first furniture and lighting collection at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) where his N1 Table Lamp was named “Best in Show” and later published in The New York Times.  For the next decade, Nosanchuk designed a range of architectural projects: a jewelry salon for Bergdorf Goodman; various New York City townhouses and penthouses; an oceanfront Hampton home; as well as competition entries for the Stockholm Library, Venice Accademia Bridge, and the Dubai Visitor Center.

Nosanchuk’s lighting and furniture designs have received widespread praise in the architectural community.  In 2012, Nosanchuk collaborated with Flavor Paper to produce “Super Series,” a digitally printed wallpaper which is now part of the permanent collections of the Cooper Hewitt, New York and Lés Arts Décoratifs, Paris.  His “Louie” pendant light, made from a 3D scan of a Louis Sullivan building, has been exhibited at the Triennale Museum in Milan and commissioned as a series for the Italian Pavilion at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.  The “Butterfly Asteroid” series, launched with Rossana Orlandi at PAD London and in her Milan gallery, has been exhibited at Design Miami, Salon Art + Design, Fog Fair, as well as Tefaf, and is currently on view in Southampton, at Jeff Lincoln’s Art + Design Gallery.  In 2011, Nosanchuk was commissioned to design a permanent sculptural lighting element for the main lobby of Cranbrook’s new Girls Middle School.

Nosanchuk’s latest limited edition design work focuses on reinventing art from earlier centuries.  In 2022, Nosanchuk began collaborating with the Shaker Museum to remake iconic objects from their archives in colored resin.  He is currently working with a group of international museums to recreate historic Auguste Rodin sculptures in wax.

Nosanchuk is frequently commissioned for architectural landscape and interiors projects in New York City and the surrounding suburbs.
