In pursuit of a more engaged practice that reintroduces gesture back into the design process, Carla Baz established a Beirut-based studio where she collaborates with highly-skilled craftsmen to nurture the link between the hand that draws and the hand that makes.

Both parties constantly explore the possibilities of form, functionality and feasibility, resulting in the creation of works that are at once sculptural and practical, ornate and clean, strong and subtle.Having studied Interior Architecture at ESAG Penninghen in Paris followed by Product design for the Luxury Industry at the University of Art and Design Lausanne (ECAL), she moved to London upon completing her Master's Degree to work with renowned designers, including Vivienne Westwood and Zaha Hadid.
Carla is rooted in the art and design community and holds multiple design awards, including Maison&Objet Rising Talent Award (2018) and Fondation Boghossian Design Prize in Brussels (2013). She is now based in the UAE.
