Ogden Opheim (b. 1998) is an American artist and designer based in New York City. Born in New Mexico, Opheim graduated with a BFA in Industrial Design at the Rhode Island School of Design in 2021 with an Honors Designation.
Opheim is the founder of Boxhead World, established in 2020. Inspired by the experience of a dream, the brand’s image of a square face became a symbol into exploring the dichotomies of the modern age, such as humans and robots. This is seen in the brand’s two logos, one with two eyes and teeth representing the “human”, while the other, a more abstract portrait consisting of only a few rectangles, represents the “robot”.
He finds inspiration from exploring digital media, and the different landscapes surrounding him, having lived in nature and in the city. His works are influenced by his interests in philosophy, art, and design within representational and abstract forms, in addition to the constantly developing cultural evolution and technology today.
He was awarded the Eva Zeisel Award for Design Excellence in 2021.
