Sizar Alexis Lounge Chairs

Sizar Alexis is a Swedish-Iraqi product and furniture designer, who experiments with objects that display serenity through geometrical shapes, while remaining robust in volume. His trademark style is built on creating objects that bear a strong character, accomplished through the use of raw and imperfect surfaces, in combination with a deep interest in brutalism and the rich cultural and architectural heritage from ancient Mesopotamia. He uses the delicate character of noble materials juxtaposed with brutalist angular shapes, to create objects that stand the test of time.

Sizar was born in Ankawa, just outside the city of Erbil, in northern Iraq. His Chaldean roots put his lineage in a straight line back to 5000 BC, in ancient Mesopotamia. In 1997, he moved to Sweden, with his family and settled in Eskilstuna. During his studies, at Beckmans College of Design, he started to explore his interest in designing objects and furniture for the home. He holds bachelor’s degrees in engineering and fine arts.
