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.

Shifted Veneers, Striped Tin Inlay

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’.

Known for always exploring new craft techniques, Nada Debs invited storyteller Salim Azzam to create a narrative for the Patterns in Nature collection, launched during Beirut Design Fair 2019. Respecting nature as the highest source of inspiration for this collaboration, the two brands cultivate ecological and ornithological awareness and present it in the form of a handcrafted furniture collection. The universe of wood is vast. Debs and Azzam looks into the flawlessness of nature by observing how the fauna makes its home within the flora, replicating this marriage into luxury furniture. With the signature geometric patterns laid out in marquetry using walnut along with a new craft technique termed ‘contour inlay’ developed by Debs, the collection results in a show of poetic synergy featuring birds, botany and narratives of nature. ‘The collection reveals the many patterns in nature, from a full-fledged eco-system comprising of birds, insects and trees to the geometric patterns that I always use in my work as well as the beautiful patterns of the wood grains themselves’ says Nada.

Ultra-High Performance Concrete, Fiber Reinforcement

This product explores the relationships between the human body, space and the objects in between. It invites the viewer to imagine an environment where bodies infuse in the tangible space as much as they affect the invisible one. Anatomy is generated by an iterative casting process taken from different bodies. The collected shapes and parts become design instruments that are themselves subject to casting, creating the opportunity to add, subtract or transform the information into a novel, redefined body. The resulting anatomy, a singular entity of multiple histories, takes on a life of its own. When introduced in a domestic or familiar built environment, the product engages with its surrounding and brings out, naturally, a feeling of anthropomorphic surrealism. Up close, the humanoid landscapes shelter horizontal surfaces concealed within pockets. In these creases, the areas vary in shape and size suggesting that their usage may differ. Adhering to the casting ethos, each and every product of the series of 12 is casted in the fiberglass mould of the original, hand-casted prototype.

The anatomy series explores the relationships between the human body, space and the objects in between. It invites the viewer to imagine an environment where bodies infuse in the tangible space as much as they affect the invisible one. When introduced in a domestic or familiar built environment, the product engages with its surrounding and brings out, naturally, a feeling of anthropomorphic surrealism. The white ethereal appearance of the products is afforded by their thinness, and smoothness. The use of ultra-high-performance concrete, a material which is not typically used for design products, is connected to the designer's interest in materials and to her architectural practice. The Anatomy mirror can be placed vertically or horizontally. Its center is made of two reflective parts which are reminiscent of the presence of two bodies. When it is displayed together with the Anatomy console, the outline of the mirror engages in a dialogue with that of the console. Adhering to the casting ethos, each and every mirror of the series of 12 is casted in a mould of the original, with a signature engraved at the back.

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”

“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.

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.

As my body is crucial and so is my skin, surfaces of things developed my sense of touch since I was a child. I explore textures with the tip of my fingers and the bottom of my feet; with my skin I experience the density, hardness or softness of things and a bodily reaction is inevitable when faced with a soft polished wood or a fluffy material. My body is in constant dialogue with its environment; I feel pleasure while discovering my resonance in space, the flow of a good piece of music flows easily under my skin, I experience tension in the muscles when facing a powerful painting, my guts contract when faced with a disturbing image... Bodily tables are a set of plastic objects assimilating qualities from the organic world while developing behaviors familiars to our corporeal experience. The skin of the tables breaks through its conventional mold, grows and develops its own unique shape and texture, enticing the eyes to gaze, the hands feel and the body to react.

A body mutates into the other, or maybe merges with the other; two worlds come together in an uncanny relationship to create a collection of amorphous symbiotic objects feeding off one another. Naturally, we come to the world connected to our mothers' umbilical cord, and throughout time we develop several relations and dependencies both physically and emotionally. Symbiotic Creatures is a collection of stools that reflects the relations between two entities in continuous exchange: a stool and a light, a vase, a growth and a creature. All echoing the need for the other and the quest for forming tactile bodily connections. The pieces become platforms for a familiar yet intimate bodily experience with the users, inviting their bodies to explore the act of sitting through a voyage of textures, exchanges and memories.

"Further developing the collection, we continue with a focus on reinterpreting cultural references through the use of new materials. Here, again, cast foam is the key. We have created a piece which references familiar elements yet sets them outside familiar contexts. With the foam – atop which sits a glass mirror - we’ve further explored its use and played with colors, density and porosity, once more creating an object eager to be touched. Part of a continuing story, when set in its contemporary context, the Mirror subverts the past and almost unwittingly reveals itself as part of a new tradition."

This design is based on the exploration of cultural traditions through everyday pieces and society’s contemporary interaction with them. Influenced by memories, the Bedside Table plays with overt references drawn from the omnipresent pearl jewelry of Lebanon’s past, and recreates these through the use of carved marble and turned brass. By whimsically suspending these around a circular base of cast foam, upon which is seated a molded transparent glass cabinet, they simultaneously achieve an abstract illusion of both the ethereal and the consequential; a contextualization of a reconstruction process. Through our experimentation and development with casting liquid foam, we’ve transformed this into a material of high perceived and structural value. The choice of the material was based on its chemical and physical properties. The foam expands and moves, to reach new levels, and never can be limited by boundaries, it’s alive and dynamic and it can’t be trapped in a well-defined place, like memories ideas and stories. It’s an interactive material; the procedure is part of an adventure, never can predict its results and behavior. It has a certain mystery and it reflects our resolve to assemble what was once forgotten. The procedure was based on molding different deconstructed elements hidden and preserved in a deep place in our minds and letting the foam merging, captivating and reconstructing all these elements in one entity, always highlighting its softness and delicate effect. By directly stacking contrasting layers and elements, including its opaque drawer, the Bedside Table juxtaposes materials and creates an object that demands to be engaged – physically and intellectually.
