Place: Jacob K.Javits Convention center, ICFF, New York Date: May 2006 Click on images to enlarge This project is a collection of items that are created around a scenario imagined by myself, entitled “the disappearance of objects”. The story started on a cloudy afternoon entering the gallery of my agent in Beirut. While strolling around, I was trying to locate where my IQAR table was placed in the gallery. I could not visualize it at all. For a few minutes, I was convinced my agent had changed his mind and removed the piece. But suddenly, it appeared just in front of me. Being completely made out of mirrored stainless steel, the furniture was reflecting everything around it in the room becoming the only none existing item. The object disappeared and reappeared with a glimpse. This story triggered the concept of the disappearance of objects. Object 01, Object 02, Object 03 and Object 04 seem to have lost the preciseness of objects, the sharpness of their meaning and form. They are meant to be the remnants of a civilization. Despite being a product designer, I believe that today’s objects will have to become something else, not in their form but in there being. My show at the ICFF in 2006 was only an attempt to materialize a premonition. These are not the answer to my question. They are the question itself.
