New York–based artist Kai Ming Yang creates objects that explore the interplay of materials and forms, spanning furniture, lighting, and sculpture. His work emphasizes process, allowing material qualities to define both form and meaning, with aesthetics emerging as a natural outcome. Educated in Taiwan and Chicago, Yang developed a sensitivity to craft and industrial production. His work has been presented internationally and across New York, including ICFF, galleries, and other design exhibitions.
