id50 2025 – KAMEH

Meet KAMEH, one of the top product designers in the MENA region

Can you let us know about the latest exciting projects that you are working on? 

I’m currently creating a new piece using a very unconventional medium. The unpredictability of working with such  materials makes the process especially thrilling, as I’m never quite sure how the final result will turn out.

What’s a dream project that you would like to manifest? 

I’m envisioning two distinct manifestations that would really excite me. The first would be with a performance artist, because I’d love to see how my objects interact in a live, dynamic context. Watching them in action adds a whole new dimension to my work. The second would be  partnering with a brand, which would allow me to co-create and step beyond my usual aesthetic. Embracing a fresh perspective often leads to unexpected ideas, and I find that incredibly inspiring.

How would you describe your design philosophy?

I embrace: perfectly imperfect. It’s important to me that people find beauty in imperfection and form a genuine connection with the objects in their homes. By recognizing how integral these pieces can be in daily life, we begin to see that furniture isn’t just functional—it is also a form of art.

As this is the power issue, what empowers you?

I love people, I draw inspiration from the spectrum—whether they’re musicians, artists, designers, architects, everyone has a story to share.
