Carla Baz Candlesticks

Carla Baz is a French-Lebanese designer dedicated to foster synergies between her innovative approach to furniture or lighting and the very accomplished skills of Lebanese artisans. After studying interior architecture at ESAG Penninghen in Paris, she pursued a masters in product design for the luxury industry at the University of Art and Design Lausanne where she had the opportunity to work on several projects under the supervision of international designers such as Ronan Bouroullec, BarberOsgerby, Marti Guixé, Pierre Charpin and Humberto and Fernando Campana. She then engaged in diverse professional experiences, working in London for Burberry, Vivienne Westwood and Zaha Hadid until she felt it was time to explore her own lines. Thus began a very inspiring sequence of experiments which resulted in small editions of her sculptural and functional furniture and earned her the Brussels based Boghossian Fondation’s 2013 Design Prize. All her projects are rooted in that elaborate relationship where innovative ideas meet noble materials that are worked by hand.
