Antonio Severi

Developing a series of small objects for the home, Antonio Severi partnered with the Beirut-based Exil Collective to work with local Lebanese creatives in bringing their vision to life. Featuring items such as a candle holder, wall clock and ashtray, the collection is made from recycled aluminium within a sand-casting workshop where the choice of shapes, sand grit and metal were the result of an open dialogue between Severi and the artisans. Combining the expertise of all those involved, this cross-cultural collaboration seamlessly blends traditional skillsets with contemporary design helping to highlight the importance of preserving such valuable techniques.
