Mandolin Wall Mounted Brass, Carla Baz

Mandolin wall mounted brass - Carla Baz Dimensions: ø 29 x H 110 x D 13 cm Weight: 6 kg Material: Brass Mandolin evokes intimacy and warmth. Just like a serenade is meant for a special person, these backlit mirrors are intended to furtively capture the face and soul of someone. The sensuality of the brushed brass coupled with the playful mirror added to the soft warmth of the back lighting create a seductive scenography within any setting. Carla Baz is a French-Lebanese designer dedicated to foster synergies between her innovative approach to furniture/lighting and the very accomplished skills of Lebanese artisans. After studying interior architecture at ESAG Penninghen in Paris, she pursued a Masters in product design for the luxury industry at the University of Art and Design Lausanne (ECAL) where she had the opportunity to work on several projects under the supervision of international designers such as Ronan Bouroullec, BarberOsgerby, Marti Guixé, Pierre Charpin and Umberto and Fernando Campana. She then engaged in diverse professional experiences, working in London for Burberry, Vivienne Westwood and Zaha Hadid until she felt it was time to explore her own lines. Thus began a very inspiring sequence of experiments which resulted in small editions of her sculptural and functional furniture and earned her the Brussels based Boghossian Fondation’s 2013 Design Prize. All her projects are rooted in that elaborate relationship where innovative ideas meet noble materials that are worked by hand. Within that journey to their process, unique and elegant products are born that hold their place in our landscape. Carla has recently been awarded the 'Rising Talent' award at Maison & Objet’s 2018 September edition.
