Info

A modular lighting system exploring cultural dialogue through architecture, materiality, and light. Rooted in the shared spatial influences between the Arab World and Europe, Minara reinterprets the Ablaq column as a contemporary luminous archetype. Through stacked translucent modules inspired by regional stones, the project transforms light into a collective spatial presence where fragments, memory, and cultural narratives coexist through a contemporary design language.
