Abher Library
This group project entails of re-branding and redesigning the Virginia Commonwealth University of the Arts in Qatar. A collaboration between the graphic design department and interior design. The library's central theme is development, peace, and comfort. The library is much more than a library, it also has a central coffee shop, private study rooms, and conference rooms. The library has been reimagined as a welcoming environment that encourages socialization among students and the general public. The library has private study rooms, a coffee shop, custom-made computer tables that are inspired by Islamic patterns and another that functions almost like a book room with lighting.

Meander
Inspiration- Islamic patterns. Islamic patterns are created to lead the viewer to an understanding of the underlying reality, rather than being mere decoration. Islamic decoration, which tends to avoid using figurative images, makes frequent use of geometric patterns which have developed over the centuries. So the design for the light fixture is more of using square patterns. The feeling, when placed in the space, is to have a warm, neutral environment. The material used is MDF. The light fixture is placed on a generic wall-based structure.

Morris Chair
The Morris Chair has long been known for its
distinctive appearance, with its reclining back
and high armrests, as well as the comfort it
offers. But can it offer more? With this novel
design, I explored several ways to integrate an
element of entertainment for residents who
would appreciate more from the chair rather
that just seating. This is where the idea of in-
corporating a bookshelf onto the Morris chair
struck me. The users have the ability to
store their favorite books and access them for
the purpose of reading whenever they want.
