Hand-Sculpted Ceramic, Clay, Casted Brass.

‘’Morph’’ side table is a result of a collaboration with Katie Stout, Brooklyn-based designer/artist. In this design we wanted to push our boundaries and at the same time to go back to our basic sketches, where usually our first visual starts to appear. Purifying our sketches and elaborating them to create geometrical shape is our method; in ‘’Morph’’ we wanted to translate our rough sketch to reality without the simplification process. A free, spontaneous and naïve design made out of a mix of ceramic, clay and casted brass, where all components are made and shaped by hand, without any machine involvement. In a process of a back and forth sketching game, where each designer was adding his/her own touch and thoughts to the initial sketch, the piece turned out to be a well welded and brewed design that represents the power of this collaboration.

In our language, we tend to use materials that can be hand sculpted. By working around those materials we always look for playfulness. In this piece, the process focuses on hand carving a typical local stone found in north of Lebanon. The stone is bush hammered to create a tactile surface yet maintaining this majestical allure, along with the hand tied natural fibers, creating alltogether “The Broom Bench”

Enamel, Brass, Mirror.

Don’t forget to be a woman! The purse mirror is first of all a symbolic female habit / gesture. The mirror is very old; used 3,500 years ago. The mirror reflects the surrounding, the beauty and is a symbol of light and life. Inspired from my trip to Shiraz, and touched by the art of “ANEYNEH KARI”- 17th century, I started sketching my furniture collections including designs with mirrors and geometry. My work is with geometry because it offers endless possibilities, it travels and communicates different cultural and spiritual backgrounds. The purse mirror with the artisan enameling, its round edges, and its fluid movement, is one of my latest work combining both the artisan know-how and technology. Finally, this piece is an introduction for my upcoming furniture collection.

A synergy between the organic markings of nature and the rational lines of geometry, the Carapace tables play with exaggerated cellular patterns through the craft of marquetry whereby subtle shifts in wood veneers emphasize the shell-like patterns. The subtle colors of the shifted veneers envelope the smooth forms of the round edges, a challenge for the craftsman to attain. Occasionally the pattern is further emphasized using tin inlay at the edges, this craft technique is named ‘shifting veneer’.

“Around them revolved the belief that life is indestructible; death is merely a preambule to rebirth on a higher level of being. It was a mortal named Orpheus who showed that this higher level is some- thing called art”. - Herbert Muschamp, Flora The project came from an eagerness to create a vase that would embrace the beauty of dead flowers: one where they would be admired for their dried texture, altered color, & graceful curve. A falling flower reborn in-between paradoxical straight lines, reflecting all its facets with the reflective surface of the container. This piece is an hommage to “Orpheus” whom beleived that the higher level of being is art.

“Beyond the shared Mediterranean, Napoli and Beirut are astonishingly similar –– the impassioned people, love of family, strong presence of faith everyday life, the lemon and olives. The built-up chaos and natural serenity, especially, generate a familiar pulsating energy that can only exist in such evident contradiction.”    The overlapping landscapes of the Napoli and Beirut are brought to light. Elements of traditional Neapolitan artisanry dialogue with noble materials to create five distinct lamps that illuminate the different tonalities and impressions of both Mediterranean cities. A variegated melange of coral and bone work, religious symbolism, multi-hued glass and intricate woodwork come together in a soothing harmony that captures the beautiful contradictions.

Whether tucked away in a dark place, pulled out for a religious ritual, or making the rounds at a house party, alcohol has a long history as a social practice. Condemned by some and welcomed by others, alcohol depends on its container. Its social function means nothing without something to hold it. Sometimes the container conceals the drink, allowing it to remain hidden and unknown. Other times the container identifies the drink and celebrates it. From quick chugs to popping champagne bottles, the container defines the etiquette of consumption. The Decant collection plays with the tension between celebrating the consumption of alcohol and forbidding it. Assembled from the superposition of layers of Corian, the decanters hide the liquid inside and conceal the carafe’s stopper. The decanters’ shapes, however, reveal their intended storage and are meant to emphasize the ritual and aesthetic practices of alcohol consumption. The acrylic container is lead-free to preserve the quality of its contents.

The Lebanese culture is always infused into Khaled's work. He has lived in Lebanon for the majority of his life and gets most of his visual influences from his surroundings. There is a raw aspect to his designs that is a direct reflection of a city in constant growth trying to define its identity in a zone of constant conflicts. “Design Miami/ and Art Basel were always a dream for me, being part of the coming edition will certainly impact my life and my practice for the better." When speaking about the upcoming exhibition, Khaled mentions a full range of emotions from happiness, and pride to nervousness and excitement. As he will be showing a body of work almost a year in the making, he is keen to always have depth and meaning to the pieces as well as to the production process. Each pair of hands that the pieces pass through, give a new piece of soul to the series. Mr Brain Lamp is now part of a larger and exclusive collection sold at Nilufar Gallery Milano.

Bronze, PU resin, Paint, Lacquer.

Fluid Encounter is a functional fragment of an ethereal landscape, where we find wonder in the fluidity of the bronze. Its flat chromatic surface bends to the form of the rocks beneath it, creating subtle undulations. The bronze, suspended by the luminous rocks, has undergone a chemical patination process enhanced by hand painted layers of color and a gloss lacquer finish that accentuates the sense of fluid movement. The three rocks appear natural in form, but are in essence digitally conceived through 3D scanning and CNC fabrication techniques, allowing the viewer to question the nature of what we experience in our everyday physical and digital realities. This relates to Audi’s most recent exploration in which a simulated digital fluid landscape is created where geology and gemology collide. Domestic objects and furniture blur into the surreal of this digital plane. Through our digital experience, we have found a platform with which to expand our sensory worlds. Fluid Encounter translates this digital world into a physical presence, combining traditional crafting techniques with digital fabrication, and juxtaposing natural bronze with synthetic resin. This further blurs the edge between what we know to be digital and what is tangible: bronze that is cool to the touch, and crystalline rocks that capture light.

Our identity is one of tradition, usefulness and authenticity, we believe in creating new products and reinventing old ones. New generations and old have been well affected by the emergence of new technologies that have morphed us into an almost-bionic state. Our products are nothing close to what is being marketed out there. Toopi, our new old revisited creation that speaks of a healthy distraction away from screens and consoles. Toopi comprises 6 spinning heads, each representing a specific culture encompassing Lebanese, Thai, Mexican, Japanese, English and Indian; a celebration of diversity, infused with the spirit of globalization, arts and peace, turning these Toopi into a symbol of unity that has gone amiss nowadays. In short, Toopi's design is akin to an interwoven fabric joining nations from all around the globe under one umbrella. Each spinning head has been carefully crafted according to the relevant country's traditional apparel with textures and materials that reflect local cultures. The handles have also been covered with metal paper leaf such as gold, silver or copper that are undoubtedly reminiscent of the Lebanese culture. Every Toopi is unique and attractive in its own accord. Every spin brings out a new discovery and a world of nostalgic fun.

Our take and contribution to the show "house of today" is envisioning the house of tomorrow by using the matter of yesterday Rather than looking to the jungle or the nature as such for materials we are taking the surplus of the urban jungle and up-cycling it. This challenges our preconceived ideas of beauty and purity, and forces a position where one has to forgive. A compressed cube of metal is applied as few cuts and resources as possible to turn it into a sculptural yet comfortable reclining chair. The cuts reveal endless richness in complexity similarly to if one was to make a section through the jungle.

The colored container contrasts with the brushed brass of the paper weight, to bring an interesting value to the desk, and to add a beautiful minimalistic touch to its atmosphere. These simple items are appealing to even the most avowed minimalist. Each sculptural shape rests on a flat surface and appears to drown in it, giving the image of surrealistic scenery. This surrealistic scene reflects an image of historical Beirut landscapes, after many earthquakes destroyed the city; ruins appeared everywhere, to become nowadays part of the lost and found treasure. This image evokes the sense of nostalgia, and allows these golden pieces to be considered as the treasures of the golden city. These precious ruins create a sort of a dreamy escape in our daily work routine.

Lebanese Red Clay, Hand Thrown on The Wheel.

The ‘Moonshine’ bottle is a special piece of hand-made and hand-glazed earthenware, created from Lebanese clay, from Lebanese soil. Lebanese filmmaker and journalist Zeina Aboul-Hosn started making bottles 3 years ago in Beirut, as a hobby. She was attracted to the color and feeling of Lebanese clay, and worked with it to create bottles that are raw, elegant and a pleasure to drink out of. A limited edition of 21 bottles.

Unglazed Colored Porcelain.

Traditionally, a string of prayer beads widely used in the Levant for its religious connotations. With time, the Masbaha developed more meditative purposes. The act of bead counting and the sensation of the beads on one's hand are a form of stress relief for the owner of a Masbaha. It is also often used as an alternative to bad habits such as smoking and nail biting. The Masbaha is handcrafted in Lebanon with unglazed colored porcelain.

The city of Beirut has undergone an extensive cultural evolution throughout its long history, with different cultures and societies leaving their distinct imprint on the fabric of the city. Beginning with the Phoenicians, through the Romans, medieval Ottomans, French colonization, and most recent civil war, each phase builds upon the proceeding culture to build a new system. In keeping with this year's theme of Jungle Protocol, we examine the underlying order that binds the fabric of the city together through the historical plans of the city and through the historical typology of the urban 'town center'. If one is to understand the development of Beirut, then one must understand that each of these historical fabrics creates an underlying rationalization to a seemingly random growth. In addition to the extensive overlay of urban fabrics, the town square has continued to be a place for gathering and foundation throughout the city’s history. Beginning with its first incarnation as the Roman forum at the intersection of the Cardo and Decumanus, this center has continued it presence and importance through each successive culture. Further compounding this layering of fabrics, is the rigid boundary which defines this system. The urban fabric is bound by the sea and mountains, and is contained by this strict boundary. These historical layers of the city are broken down into their core elements – streets, city blocks, and town squares – which are then overlaid into a singular diagram which represents the culmination of each successive urban fabric into a subconscious unifying order. The rigid boundary of this system manifests itself not as an organic boundary, but as a pure rectangular prism – fitting the standards of a coffee table. This diagram is then suspended within a clear rectangular prism, and is expressed by polished stainless steel struts of equal size. At the center of this volume is a smaller volume - representing the archetypal town square - from which the diagram radiates, and rendered in gold plated stainless steel. The struts originate at this ‘town square’, extend to the boundaries, and continue to grow throughout the volume. This form manifests itself as a table, a sculpture, a diagram for the city, the Jungle Protocol. “Designed by Founder Michel Abboud and Associate Steven Townsend"

Fading memories of business meetings, blurry phrases at a late night dinner. All vanished. All gone. And you’re home. Hat, jacket, tie, cufflinks. Armor hanging on a wooden servant. You’re stripped. Naked. Facing a mask the world believes is real. Your last performance of the day. Alter ego.

We are all born naked. When naked, we are equal; equally vulnerable, equally exposed, equally weak, but we do not allow nakedness to define us. By covering ourselves, we do not strictly aim to hide our bare bodies. We use our second layer to create an identity, an image, a personality. We use materials, colors, and textures to make a unique statement, while simultaneously hiding, camouflaging and masking flaws and weaknesses. Second skins is a series of resin vases, born naked, equally unremarkable and lacking a clear well defined identity. Once covered, each object gains its own characteristics through the materials and textures that conceal it, allowing it to express its own particular traits. With the help of the second skins they host, each vase will hold a unique sense of esthetics and feel to it, providing its own tactile sensations and visual language.

Meg is a pick-up stick game that is reinterpreted in heavier and nobler materials. The project was born out of a feeling of nostalgia and the memory of a simpler time. The purpose of recreating it, while making it appealing to a wider audience, was to bring back to life an old-school game. It is packaged in a box that is designed to be displayed in a home, in order to intrigue and invite guests to interact with it and therefore each other.

“Beyond the shared Mediterranean, Napoli and Beirut are astonishingly similar –– the impassioned people, love of family, strong presence of faith everyday life, the lemon and olives. The built-up chaos and natural serenity, especially, generate a familiar pulsating energy that can only exist in such evident contradiction.”    The overlapping landscapes of the Napoli and Beirut are brought to light. Elements of traditional Neapolitan artisanry dialogue with noble materials to create five distinct lamps that illuminate the different tonalities and impressions of both Mediterranean cities. A variegated melange of coral and bone work, religious symbolism, multi-hued glass and intricate woodwork come together in a soothing harmony that captures the beautiful contradictions.

Hand Carved Polyester Resin, Fiberglass, Super Mirror Finish Stainless Steel, Wireless Charging Device.

The smartphone is a tribune, our rostrum. This object has transformed from a simple functional device, into the stone on which we engrave our thoughts and images. Our new social commandments emerge from this pedestal that holds one’s own personal stature. It has become one of our most precious belongings, a deformed mirror of ourselves, a perpetual social mask. We are naked when we are disconnected. Vault is about the ritual, the act of getting naked: letting go of our social mask. Meant to put into perspective both our attachment to, and detachment from our phones; Vault emphasizes the action of disconnecting from ones virtual life or magnifying it. The hand-sculpted shape has mirror finishing meant to connote the reflected image of ourselves. When the chest is closed it wirelessly recharges your phone all the while shutting down any contact with the world. If left open the Vault turns into a bedside lamp or it simply magnifies your phone notifications. Lingering between nakedness and full attire, Vault is meant to remind us of the complex relationship we have with our phones.

Corian

LG HY-MAX.

Whether tucked away in a dark place, pulled out for a religious ritual, or making the rounds at a house party, alcohol has a long history as a social practice. Condemned by some and welcomed by others, alcohol depends on its container. Its social function means nothing without something to hold it. Sometimes the container conceals the drink, allowing it to remain hidden and unknown. Other times the container identifies the drink and celebrates it. From quick chugs to popping champagne bottles, the container defines the etiquette of consumption. The Decant collection plays with the tension between celebrating the consumption of alcohol and forbidding it. Assembled from the superposition of layers of Corian, the decanters hide the liquid inside and conceal the carafe’s stopper. The decanters’ shapes, however, reveal their intended storage and are meant to emphasize the ritual and aesthetic practices of alcohol consumption. The acrylic container is lead-free to preserve the quality of its contents.

Hand-Blown Glass with Handmade Engraving, Brushed Brass.

A tribute to vanity and beauty, this mirrored console table ironically compares an everyday makeup routine to the complete, full-moon transformation which is at the heart of the werewolf myth. This object stands on an imaginary line between private space, an intimate place that makes us feel free to be ourselves, and social life, where each of us is - more or less consciously - forced to wear a mask. The design is defined by an elegant and sophisticated geometry. The table top opens unveiling a container for cosmetics, while two precious glass vessels complete the idea providing a useful space for cotton pads, brushes or jewels. Like a full moon, the large mirror catches the eye and invites onlookers to peek at their own reflection. And the transformation begins... get ready for a full moon night!

“I'll show you mine if you show me yours.” is a series of 7 key chains based on the 7 sins. The keychain. A simple object. We each carry one. Most of the time, tucked away from people’s eyes. We carry it everywhere. Until we get home, we drop it. Just like we drop our social mask. A series of 7 different keychains, based on 7 different sins. Each ending with an engraving that can be used as a stamp. Both on paper and on skin. Pick your sin.

Crumpled Aluminum Foil, Casted Brass.

We often crumple a paper or an aluminum foil in our hand once we don’t need it anymore. Or make a ball out of scotch tape or nylon to play with it. Boule tends to memorize the different type of texture that the gesture of the hand can create.

Center stage, the spotlight illuminates the amphitheater. All eyes are on the clock, divulging its internal mechanism projected onto the ground. The sociopolitical elite, six encircling entities, stand firmly as they watch the motion of the parts unfold at their feet. The clock ticks endlessly, but does not display time. The clock ticks endlessly, but their inertia persists. Beyond the self-advertising spectacle of our pillars, our city’s present remains stagnant, as vacant as a timeless clock.

I always had a repulsion for touching food with my bare fingers, I confess of being anxious to catapult meat chops on my table neighbors while trying to slide them off a skewer with a fork; of my phobia of having little crumbs stuck in my beard if I try to bite off that skewer. I had to overcome this perception and transform it into a sensual experience. “Flesh Toys” are a subtle shape interpretation of 6 sex toy archetypes.
