Artist Name

Nadine Hajjar

Hometown: Beirut

Based in: Montreal

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.

More About Nadine Hajjar

Question IconWhat inspires you?

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.

Question IconDescribe 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.

Question IconWhat are 3 words that best describe your work?

Organic, minimal and balanced

Question IconWhere do you go for inspiration?

Inspiration is everywhere I travel, every museum I visit, every architectural building I see, every life experience.
