Reinventing Spaces With Concrete Furniture | Carlo Massoud

Season 1 · Episode 3

Thursday, April 4, 2024 • Duration 23:27

In the third episode of the Design Doha podcast, Carlo Massoud joins us to discuss his and his sister Mary-Lynn's joint creative practice, from using man-made materials to produce homeware in organic shapes – and melding their two creative practices and training – to how Beirut influences their output.

The Massoud siblings have been experimenting with innovative approaches to common objects since 2016. Their hands-on approach is driven by fun and trial and error. Each collection brings together the contrasting yet harmonious styles of the brother and sister duo, with Mary-Lynn's handmade ceramic work complementing Carlo's careful pre-production obsession. The latest collection, The Elephant Project, consists of large-scale indoor and outdoor furniture made of light colored concrete. The collection was imagined entirely in Lebanon and is made locally by artisans (via Spotti.com)

Innovating Design With Bedouin Traditions | Abeer Seikaly

Season 1 · Episode 2

Wednesday, March 27, 2024 • Duration 23:54

In this second live podcast recording at Design Doha, we sat down with Abeer Seikaly, a Jordanian-Palestinian architect whose work rethinks and innovates "shelter" while entering indigenous Bedouin practices. We talk about bringing Bedouin tradition and heritage into contemporary design, fabric architecture, materiality and structure, and how she considers the notion of "shelter" a social and cultural practice.

Abeer Seikaly is a Jordanian-Palestinian interdisciplinary thinker and maker, who works across architecture, design, fine art, and cultural production. She draws inspiration from traditional knowledge in the Arab homeland and views her practice as a social technology for cultural empowerment. Her recent works center around indigenous Bedouin practices to recover the intimacy of handmaking. She travels to Jordan’s Badia [desert], where she engages in Bedouin women’s craftsmanship of textile weaving.
