Likeminded Objects

Elise McMahon is a designer, artist and educator living in the Hudson Valley.

McMahon works under the design studio named LikeMindedObjects, creating furniture, lighting and products with a joyful contemporary aesthetic combined with a unique take on creative re-use steeped in material experimentation.

McMahon received a BFA from RISD in Furniture Design and an MFA from Parsons New School in Industrial Design where she developed her research practice into global Waste Streams and healthier material practices in manufacturing. McMahon's work has been featured in a variety of exhibitions and publications including Vogue, New York Times, Architectural digest and more.

Beyond her studio practice, Elise is an integral part of the Hudson creative community, organizing the Basilica Farm & Flea, regular Fix-It workshops where you can learn to mend your own items, and much more. Her commitment to sustainability and reuse, both in her designs and her broader life ethos, are values we cherish deeply.
