paola sakr talks design healing on #storyofdesign

paola sakr has always been a passionate multifaceted designer who seeks to infuse a plethora of untold stories and feelings in everything she and her hands make. her belief is her guide. her feeling is her driver. her objects house so much soul, expressions of different times, and selfless collaboration with the world.

born and raised in beirut, sakr graduated from alba (l’académie libanaise des beaux-arts) in 2016 before she started her own studio nestled at the heart of the city. on top of putting a heavy focus on research and experimentation, sakr strongly relies on thoughts and feelings as the most profound intuition that triggers her to create and retell a story of events and experiences from different places and times.

unlike others, sakr has encountered her life’s meaning and purposes, which she, later on, cherished and manifested as the foundation of her multidisciplinary practice. this is where paola sakr grew herself, seeing design as a remedy to her surroundings. despite all the happenings in the world, sakr uses design to pour her feelings and keep her grounded.
