Design Legend Interview

16 May 2025

I become from set design and film production design background where I design film environments where design become a storytelling tool .

I believe that all people are designer in term of making some object into something "functional" , for me designing for films made me question every object and every style while keeping a creative mindset in mind and that gave me no limit other than the concern of this will tell our story or not .

It's more of an organic career I had . I started my joureny since childhood with drawing and after that learned painting , to painting murals meanwhile I had the love for cinema and end up designing the worlds for stories

The goal is to design for my culture and for the people . I aim to design things that base on behavior and daily-life studies and needs .

I reed a quote of the Japanese designer Sori Yanagi once that said " true design lies in a real counter to trends ".

It's what the design says in all its aspect . in the material , the form , the color and texture , even the way people use it or interact with it .

Well , one part of it that good design is timeless but in the same time it carries a narrative about where and when it come from , it's tell us about the social , economical , geographical even the collective's emotional statues .

Being aware of the world around you and keeping honest and ambitious mindset to change .

The list is very long but Hassan Fathy , Gaetano Pesce , Sori Yanagi , Peter Opsvik , Emilio Ambasz , Alex McDwell .

I really like The Up Armchair by Geatano Pecse

I like the Modular designs because it has a spark from the designer that ignites another spark in the user.

Again it's the curiosity and honesty fro me .

I think I will have even more time to paint !

That is my mission.

It's a tool that we "design" to make our life easier and I use it in that way .

It's a great ways that help us as a designers to tell story about the design .

I think each one has different and unique perception I can't think of a something honestly .

The research behind it .

I believe in co-design

The People from my culture .

First time I start thinking about design as a kid when I know that we're making a graduation party for my sister and I couldn't sleep because I kept thinking about the theme of the party

Designer Interview

I started my journy as a kid who like drawing and painting and after that I started painting murals . My love for design actually comes from cinema when I knew that the man behind that worlds is the production designer I started learning and working in Film's Art Department designing props and set . Now I am a production designer

I really like The Up Armchair by Geatano Pecse for what it tells us about the situation behind it , the clever storytelling it has in regarding the form and technique .

I admire the bio-based materials .

Being aware of the world around you and keeping honest and ambitious mindset to change .

The design field is shifting toward more thoughtful and responsible practices. Rather than chasing trends or fueling endless consumption, designers now have an opportunity and a responsibility to focus on what truly matters: creating meaningful solutions that improve lives, respect the planet, and stand the test of time. The future of design isn’t about making more things; it’s about making things matter more.

My design focuses in my culture and for the people . I aim to design things that base on behavior and daily-life studies and needs .

My design focuses in my culture and for the people . I aim to design things that base on behavior and daily-life studies and needs .

I live in Saudi Arabia . It has a vast cultural heritage that affects my designs. While the world be came one great village I try to maintian the culture need by designing product that serves the daily life of the people

it's based on observation and research ,on failure and experiments

I beleive that good design should be timeless but in the same time it should carries a narrative about where and when it come from , it should tell us about the social , economical , geographical even the collective's emotional statues .
