Cedric Mitchell, born in 1986 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, is a Los Angeles-based multidisciplinary designer and glass artist whose work bridges craft, collectible design and contemporary culture. Through glass, furniture, lighting and sculpture, Cedric explores bold color, geometry, rhythm and identity through his signature aesthetic, Modern Funk—a fusion of modernist form, postmodern playfulness and Black cultural influence. Cedric has collaborated with Adobe, Lincoln, Heath Ceramics and Joopiter. His work was featured in Objects: USA 2024 and is held in the permanent collections of the Denver Art Museum and the Chrysler Museum of Art. In 2024, Cedric joined the Board of Trustees of the American Craft Council and was nominated for the 2026 Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum.
