Stitched Horizons Pebble Chair (Orange)
-
Description
This 'Stitched Horizons’ pebble chair illustrates Nada Debs' world-renowned multicultural approach to design, as well as her talent for revisiting fine crafts in a contemporary light. The embroidery work on the back of the chairs is the result of a collaboration with an association of female artisans in Lebanon. The intricate embroideries on straw experiment with the technique to create unconventional geometric patterns and a landscape in shaded pop colours. The materials Nada chooses all tell a tactile story. For her, the human hand is a voice, and the artisan a storyteller.
Nada Debs is world renowned for her collaborations with regional artisans, creating finely crafted furniture and objects that employ traditional processes to achieve multicultural expressions with 21st century appeal. For her, craft is an ideal vehicle for uplifting communities, preserving ancient knowledge, and bringing people together across borders, timelines, and identities. It is an approach she calls “handmade and heartmade”, which draws on her own transcontinental experiences – from her upbringing in Japan and her training at the Rhode Island School of Design in the US, to her early career in the US and the UK. For the last two decades she has lived and worked in Lebanon, where her family is originally from, drawing inspiration from the places she has called home – Japan, the US, and the UK – to rejuvenate the craft traditions of the Middle East’s Levant region. In September 2023, the Institut du Monde Arabe in Paris awarded her with the Design Grand Prix d'Honneur. -
