Qerat, Jordan


Furniture designed and made with passion.
This is the spirit of Qerat, Jordan, an extraordinary company established in 1995 in Amman, creating superb pieces made with exotic woods and celebrating “less is more” aesthetic in its approach to furniture, textile and interior design.
In this age of mass production, it is great to see a dedication to classic craftsmanship.
Above is an image of Sqrd, a side table from the Mondrian collection, don’t you love the name of this beautiful piece? and I personally love the shape and color, sooo yummy, like a stack of delicious chocolate.

Lanya are floor lights from the Marlene collection.  Halogen up lighters that start at 1.80 meters high and go up to 2.20 meters. They are quite dramatic in scale, as a sculpture.

It would be a pleasant discovery.

Furniture distilled to simple form and function....where the wood can be seen for its beauty! Nice article.

I love these pieces--I can only imagine how good the wood must feel to the touch.
