Nada Debs is a Levantine designer living and working in Beirut. Her work spans scale and discipline: from product and furniture design to one-off commissions across craft, art, fashion and interiors. Nada grew up in Japan, studied design at Rhode Island School of Design in the United States and has spent time living and travelling the world, finding connections between different cultures. What ties her work together is her ability to distil culture and craftsmanship to create pieces of emotional resonance. She believes design can cross time and border and touch us on a primal level. She calls her approach: handmade and heart made. Debs’ designs are represented globally and she has also exhibited artworks at the Victoria &Albert Museum (London), the Haus der Kunst (Munich), the Boghossian Foundation (Brussels), Institute du Monde Arabe (Paris) and has a permanent piece of work at the Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art (Doha, Qatar).
