An exhibition portraying Scandinavian designs held at MDS Gallery in Tokyo, by invitation from Issey Miyake and curated by Harri Koskinen to present new designers, each from a Scandinavian country.
Being the partner of Tinna Gunnarsdottir (Icelandic) in many design projects, I found myself taking part in several Scandinavian exhibitions. That was a very strange experience; I almost felt like I was loosing my identity as a Lebanese designer for a while. Scandinavia was so active in showing its talents and Lebanon was so little aware of designs that I had no choice but to see myself part of another culture.
The Rolling Stones, project by Chekerdjian & Gunnarsdottir in 2001, was presented in Northern Lights exhibition under the name of Gunnarsdottir. One more time, my identity was a little mixed up.
