Christian Zahr based in Beirut, studied Architecture at the Academie Libanaise des Beaux Arts, and graduated in 2003. In 2012 he founded Christian Zahr Studio, where he develops his multidisciplinary practice as an architect, landscape designer, object designer and artist. Moving between these scales allows him to blur the boundaries between these different realms in order to create a new syntax.
In his collection he continues his research into forms, materiality and function. His inspiration comes from archetypes, vernacular architecture and artefacts. He diverts local techniques to explore a different approach to creation. His bold and rough objects are at the intersection of sculpture and furniture, and also devised as small architectures.
Zahr’s work was showcased in Beirut Design Week in Beyt Beirut Museum ( 2018 ), 1000 Vases in Dubai Design District ( 2019 ) amongst others. And also featured in design magazines such as Dezeen, Wallpaper, Interior Design, les Inrockuptibles…
