How it’s made
Three crafts, many hands
Asma designs each piece and draws every detail. Then it travels between workshops across Lebanon, where artisans shape it by hand using techniques passed down for generations.
I · Handblown glass
Shaped in the flame
Each glass piece is blown and shaped by hand over an open flame. The twists, ribs and soft curves are made one at a time, so no two pieces are exactly alike.
Small bubbles and slight differences are the signature of glass made by hand.
II · Lebanese cement tile
Poured the old way
Our tiles are made with Blatt Chaya, following the traditional method behind the floors of Beirut’s old houses. Coloured cement is poured by hand into a metal pattern mould, backed, pressed, then ground and polished.
The patterns carry the names of Lebanese places: Sour, Marj, Chtaura, Batroun.
III · Hand-shaped brass
Cut, turned and polished by hand
The brass is cut, turned and shaped in small workshops. Every dove that sits on our boxes and stoppers is cut out by hand, sanded and polished until it shines.
Designed by Asma
From sketch to prototype to piece
Every piece starts as a detailed drawing with all its measurements. A prototype is made, then adjusted until the proportions feel right. Only then does it go into production.
