Aydan Hüseynli (b. 2002) is an Azeri-Canadian artist and designer based in New York. She received a BFA in Furniture Design from the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) in 2024, with a concentration in Theory and History of Art and Design, receiving honors and the Samuel Gragg Award for Innovation.
Using the logic of familiar, domestic objects, her work finds resonance between symbolic origins and contemporary simulacra. In collapsing the ‘authentic’ and ‘inauthentic', she opens a third space for viewing the mediation of reality, memory, and heritage within the contemporary Western landscape.
Her interests outline furniture design, narrative design, curation, and art direction. She has shown work at ICFF + WantedDesign 2022 & 2023, Jonald Dudd NYC 2024, Pretty Secrets NYC 2024, Blue Shop Gallery, London, Woods Gerry Gallery, Providence, Gelman Gallery, Providence, and is currently co-curating an upcoming exhibition in NYC titled Songs of a Decoy.
