We were featured in Mojeh Magazine, a leading luxury and fashion publication based in the Gulf, in a conversation about craft, identity, and what it means to make objects rooted in a specific culture for a global audience. We talked about how marquetry and the other techniques we use in our studio are not just decorative choices but ways of carrying Arab material culture forward into new forms and new contexts. The conversation touched on why home, as an idea, travels with you wherever you go, and how the objects around you reflect who you are and where you come from.

Our work was included in a touring edition of Beirut: The Eras of Design, a landmark exhibition tracing the political, social, and cultural forces that shaped Lebanese design from the post-war period through to the present. The show examined how Lebanese designers have consistently produced work of international significance despite, and sometimes because of, the turbulence of the country's recent history. Being included was a recognition that our studio is part of a longer and deeper design story specific to Beirut and Lebanon.

We collaborated with Studio Lel, founded by Pakistani-British designer Zara Latif and known for its exploration of the ancient Gandharan artistic tradition that flourished along the Silk Road, to reimagine our signature Carapace table. The piece translated the Carapace form, originally defined by our tortoiseshell-inspired marquetry inlay, into an entirely new visual language using the rich colour palette and geometric references of Gandharan art. It was a collaboration built on genuine curiosity between two design voices rooted in distinct but geographically connected cultures.
