A lamp made for NYCxDesign Shine Exhibition. Designed and fabricated by Bechara Maalouf.
In an effort to connect more with his heritage, Bechara makes work inspired by a small, stone, multi-generational family home in the mountains of Lebanon. It is on an orchard, it has unique cast iron windows, and there are flies that protect it. This ongoing project serves as an example of how lighting can both be an object and an opportunity to explore values that are held with great affection.

Bechara Maalouf is a Lebanese-American artist and furniture designer based in New York. His work explores how memory endures and falters through the passage of time. Working with both new and found materials, he creates objects that reflect on these transformations, approaching each piece as an opportunity for preservation and continuity.
