Karim+Elias unveiled new works in their Desert Drop series at Downtown Design Riyadh, showcasing wall-mounted lamps and sculptural stem vases.
The designs combine sedimentary earth with hand-blown glass to create softly lit wall pieces and vessels that integrate a glass chamber for floral stems.
The duo's approach honors ancient craft traditions while giving them new expression in functional objects that evoke the region's natural landscape.
The works treat sand as a narrative material intertwined with regional history and identity, bringing organic desert tactility into the home through collectible objects.
