Considering the feedback I received during my interviews with niche retail stores around the city I think it would be best to design a vase on a smaller scale that could be both a stand alone piece as well as part of a set. After carrying out experiments to better understand the materiality of concrete I feel the at it would be interesting to play around with the idea of layering or using color in the piece; an aspect I am hoping to explore throughout the next week.

I am a Bahraini product designer based in New York City. I am currently pursuing a degree in product design at Parsons the New School of Design. With a focus on furniture and housewares, I am very hands on in my design process; often designing through the manufacturing process. I continue to challenge myself by taking on projects as an opportunity to explore materiality and processes. Rather than hiding imperfections in a piece, I bring them to the forefront of the concept to highlight the manufacturing process.
