Oyster is a series of sculptural lighting pieces where the delicately nested pearl in its protective shell embodies itself a poetic and meaningful metaphor. Working around the contrast between the two components, the fragile blown-glass bulb and the compact brass, the series experiments textures, patinas and reflection, aiming to juxtapose and shelter the most delicate within the rough. 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.
