About the brand

Shaha Raphael is a Lebanese maker and architect, imbuing objects with the materiality of natural forces. Across jewelry, furniture, and sculpture, her work explores form and force, guided by a multi-disciplinary process that leans on revealing digital precision in artisanal craft. Each piece is crafted to inspire ritual, celebrating texture, density, and flow to harmonize the crafted with the natural. For MATTER and SHAPE (2025), Shaha unveils ‘Surface Tension,’ a collection of sculptural works in stone, metal, and wood. Rooted in the textures and landscapes of Lebanon, each piece narrates a transformation – from raw basalt boulders to delicate assemblage of smooth geometries and finely crafted forms. This installation follows her work exploring the materiality of natural forces behind everyday objects focusing on the interplay of density, texture, and ritual. Each object invites touch and quiet reflection, a series of moments that come together in celebration of artisanal craft and the many hands that took part in this transformation.
