Abeer AlRabiah at work on a sculptural piece

I design furniture, lighting and objects, from the first sketch to the finished piece and how it gets made.

I'm fascinated by human behavior, and I'm always observing people “in the wild”. What I notice shapes every design I make.

For over ten years I've worked with design studios in the US and Saudi Arabia. Today I'm based in Riyadh, and I lead a product design team creating contemporary pieces rooted in Saudi heritage, handmade by local artisans.

I studied industrial design at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, and graduated with honors.
