Nadd Collection Drop

Nadd collection Drop explores the analogies between crafts and technologies. It aims to enhance the craft by merging hand and machine-made techniques. Using parametric design and digital fabrication tools to create molds, artisans directly manipulate clay through slip casting techniques.

This collection aims to demonstrate how tradition and innovation can coexist in the same project. The daring experiment highlights how a traditional Emirati craft such as clay can be merged with modern lifestyle narratives. The collection develops a sculptural range of tableware to be used as center pieces in living spaces.
