Carwan Gallery
presents a new groundbreaking exhibition exploring new avenues in design. With a
concept that seeks to expand the vocabulary of traditional crafts, Carwan has
commissioned a selection of international designers to create a series of new,
limited-edition objects in partnership with local artisans in the Middle East.
Each designer s project encapsulates the re-imagining of a distinct,
time-honored craft, where the specialized technique of each artisan has formed
the basis for the creation of a new object by the designer. The designers are
Karen Chekerdjian (Lebanon), Khalid Shafar (UAE), Lindsey Adelman (USA), Marc
Baroud (Lebanon), Studio mischer'traxler (Austria), Nada Debs (Lebanon),
Oeuffice (Canada), Paul Loebach (USA), Philippe Malouin (Canada) and Tamer Nakisci (Turkey).
