Description
Limited Edition of 10 + 1 AP
Ousia is a furniture collection inspired by the ancient Mesopotamian culture and heritage of the Chaldean diaspora. The collection combines historical research and contemporary design to retell a small part of this ancient culture through modern, ancient-inspired artifacts. Ousia aims to elevate and celebrate culture in an artistic way, helping individuals develop a stronger essentialistic identity in today's society. The furniture is richly decorated, drawing inspiration from the golden cloths and gilded wood or metals of Mesopotamia. The collection pays tribute to the craftsmanship and attention to detail of ancient furniture making, while also incorporating modern technology and production methods. Ousia is a reminder of the importance of learning about our heritage and using it to shape our identities.
Swedish-Iraqi designer Sizar Alexis experiments with geometrical shapes and raw, natural materials to create objects with a sense of stillness and strong character. He incorporates personal and cultural narratives, as well as inspiration from ancient Mesopotamia's rich cultural and architectural heritage, into his work. Through his material-driven approach and interest in Brutalist aesthetics, Sizar aims to explore his identity within the Chaldean diaspora and the design industry. -
