The Sabaar Coat Hanger will be on view this weekend as a part of LA Design Week/end showing with lad/w presents our joy is resistance come through this Sunday for the reception!
Named after the Arabic word for cactus, each peg is removable and can slide forward or further inside to adjust to your needs. The top has a lid so you can store un used pegs inside, or as a secret spot for storing additional small items. The form of the coat hanger is in reference to the architecture of the ancient structures in Palestine with the curved motifs as a direct line to the visual language of furniture design from the region. The many pegs are like the spikes of a cactus, a symbol of Palestinian resilience. The two forms come together to create a visual language that expresses the resilience of a people and honors the visual language of the region.
