Born and raised in Beirut, Lebanon. I was trained as an interior architect and industrial designer. My thirst for working with my hands brought me to pursue a degree in cabinetmaking. Today I design and hand-carve myself my furniture and objects.
Every object I bring to life tells a story, be it through its design, purpose or its simple interaction with light. Nothing about my creations is random. I infuse my work with lyricism and my definition of humour, making them bold and useful story books one can read in any direction through organic, clean and mostly gentle lines and curves.
My work is inspired by nature in all its shapes, patterns and differences. It is also inspired from my personal story. As a reaction to growing up in Lebanon in a chaotic atmosphere, I want to find peace by expressing myself through minimal lines and smooth curves.
Describe your creative process.
When a concept crosses my mind the first thing I do is focus on it for a few days until I am able to give it a shape. Then I carve it in a small scale model to be able to touch it.
