Qaafstudio thinks that Functional objects can be re-imposed by what we consider "Art"; navigating the culture of experiencing Art to everyday rituals and sets of matters that have tangency to our living conditions. Every piece has its line of story. These Objects sometimes hideaway their direct reference to what they meant to be or what they are signifying to. A plate omits its conventional form to redefine itself, a Vase takes another inverted journey and molds the stone as an Arc which, one day was holding the space. We treat the dwelling instruments and their space as a playground of contextual remembering. An impulse of what was and is there that Liquidation of modernity anesthetized it.
" An obvious truth like the qaaf mountain can hold the earth by containing the strata of its formation. "
Qaaf makers are group designers and executives with an international background and diverse areas of interest and expertise such as Architecture, stage design, hydraulic structures, visual Art, academic research, management, and strategy developments.
