Hailing from the United Arab Emirates, Aljoud Lootah is a multidisciplinary designer whose works have gained international recognition. ‘The Double Square’ is a collection of geometric furniture inspired by Arabesque pattern and motifs. It includes a coffee table, a stool and a lamp, all made in Carrara marble. When viewed from the top, the pieces depict a recurring 8-pointed star motif. Composed of two squares, each rotated 45 degrees relatively to another, the motif is the starting point for Arabesque patterns.
