Design Miami/ Miami Atelier Van Lieshout | Wendell Castle

Atelier Van Lieshout rose to fame with projects that travel between the world of minimalist design and non-functional art, including sculptures and installations, buildings and furniture, utopias and dystopias.

Born in Kansas in 1932, Wendell Castle received two degrees from the University of Kansas, one in industrial design in 1958 and the other in sculpture in 1961. He moved to Rochester, New York to teach at the School for American Crafts and established a permanent studio in the area that is still in operation today. He reinvented himself for nearly six decades.
