synthesis | tom price | victor hunt designart dealer | 2015
sculpture table | luiza miller de andrada | magen h gallery | c 1970
transform confessional screen | karen chekerdjian | carwan gallery | 2015
beirut’s carwan gallery presents ‘trans|form’, a three-part collection of limited-edition objects by lebanese designer karen chekerdjian, explores the idea of function-based metamorphism. instilled with an innate sense of liminality — a transitional stage in a process — each piece is in a state of constant, perpetual change and mutation. a vase becomes a hunk of solid metal, a dining table is also a rock formation, a platform morphs into a lamp. the plurality of materials and functions engage in an uninterrupted dialogue with their environments, which help ground the forms within a contextual framework.
in addition to the robust offerings from new designers in the gallery program, the swarovski designers of the future award highlights three new designers/design studios in this first edition carrying the crystal house’s moniker.
