Design: Naqsh Collective
Artwork defined by a terrazzo stone surface with a refined mineral texture, punctuated by precise brass inlays. The geometric composition, set within a square format, alternates dense patterns and linear accents, creating luminous reflections and a calibrated sense of depth with a strong graphaic identity.

Founded in 2009 in Amman, Jordan, Naqsh is the joint endeavor of two sisters, Nisreen and Nermeen Abudail. 'Naqsh', translated, means 'to engrave', which was the first form of lasting artwork that left a print by humanity. Tapping into their rich heritage and affording it new meaning, Naqsh Collective is at the crossroads between age-old Arab world design practices and a clean, contemporary aesthetic, repositioning elements of Middle Eastern art, architecture, and heritage in a minimalist frame. Their delicate hand- and fine machine-finished artworks and sculptures come together to create a new visual language.
