Carla Baz

Owner and creative director

Every piece is the product of extensive conversations with accomplished Lebanese artisans, resulting in the creation of ready-to-install lighting fixtures and commissioned design works.

In pursuit of a more engaged practice that reintroduces gesture back into the design process, Carla Baz established a Beirut-based studio where she collaborates with highly-skilled craftsmen to nurture the link between the hand that draws and the hand that makes. Together they work innovatively, transferring knowledge and reinterpreting techniques to modernize craft and create a distinctive product. Every piece is the result of a collaborative exchange with a team of accomplished artisans passionate about their specialty. Both parties constantly explore the possibilities of form, functionality and feasibility, resulting in the creation of works that are at once sculptural and practical, ornate and clean, strong and subtle.

Thank you AD @admiddleeast for your encouragement, and for supporting me on my design journey — it’s been such a gratifying 10 years working and learning from the incredible skills of Lebanese artisans, and the generosity of talented peers I am fortunate to engage with.
