This collection is a visual journey through the universe of local ecosystems. Storyteller and designer Salim Azzam was invited to illustrate the specific life patterns surrounding every tree using ‘Contour marquetry’ a craft technique developed by Studio Nada Debs, whereby stained veneers are outlined with tin giving them an illustrative quality.

The result is a layering of patterns at different scales from the geometric patterns signature to Studio Nada Debs, to the natural patterns existing in the timber grains, and finally the illustrated life patterns of flora and fauna.
