Ahmad Khouja’s designs draw inspiration from mathematics and nature as the basis for what is often a geometric game driving each piece. His process is informed by his background in architecture and fabrication. After returning from the US Ahmad set up his own atelier, DAMJ design and craft, where he conceives and fabricates his works. It is in this workshop where he is constantly experimenting with new and old techniques, and at times re-contextualizing and re-interpreting traditional crafts. In addition to architecture and furniture Ahmad has also worked in lighting, producing a number of original series for himself and other designers in Beirut. He has worked in the US, UK and Lebanon, is a graduate of Columbia and UC Berkeley Universities, and has taught design and parametric modeling at LAU and AUB.
