CENTERPIECE BRED OR FRUIT BASKET, 2010

50 (Ø) × 6 (h) cm
Brushed brass, tinned brass or Gold flashed brass

Designed especially for an exhibition on Islamic Art called the Future of Tradition- The tradition of future Munich’s Haus der Kunst, these shallow platters, shaped rather like an inverted Lebanese saje griddle, can be used or simply admired.

The carefully scored surface is left blank in places to form the three classical Arabic vowels, The use of a contemporary typeface- created in collaboration with graphic designer Raya Khalaf- rather than calligraphy, subverts and refreshes the tradition of decorative plate ware in the Middle East
