Each piece is handmade Geomorphic Archeology: Unearthing the Ephemeral - Indoor primitive landscapes (furniture and objects). Sand carted. these concrete objects, an agglomeration of unpredictable and predesigned forms archetypal and fictional, archeological and geological, capture the complex and transformative times of the current turmoil. They are the outcome of an exploration of nature's microcosm and macrocosm during the Covid-19 lockdown. Taking advantage of the time slowed down handmade and made by nature (drops of water); they celebrate uniqueness in response to mass production, intimacy in our relation to our in-tenors and objects. Independence from the chain production suspended by the pandemic. Christian Zahr studied architecture at the Academie Libanaise des Beaux Arts, Beirut, Lebanon. After graduating in 2003, he interned at Ateliers Jean Nouvel Paris (2004) before going back to Beirut and working for renowned Lebanese architectural firms. In 2012 he founded Studio Christian Zahr, where he develops his practice as an independent architect, landscape designer, object designer and artist. Moving between these scales allows him to blur the boundaries between these different realms with the obsession to create a new language. Zahr’s work as a designer was showcased in several exhibitions such as Post-it in La Galerie de L’Architecture - Paris (2004), Beirut Design Week in Beyt Beirut Museum (2018), 1000 Vases in Dubai Design District (2019).
