Without your nestled placement, I will fall.

Allow me to be at your side.
I wish to challenge your understanding,
but I need your placement of my missing half.

Bachelor of Fine Arts, 2017
Adam T Mansour is a Chicago based designer and maker. His work contemporizes the functions and forms of traditional Middle-Eastern furniture and design by adapting and replacing new for old. His work challenges design logic, object history and understood structures, while providing new forms. By using the physics of materials, tension, balance, and relationships between entities, the preconceived understanding of an object is altered.
