Aisha Nasser Al Sowaidi (b. 1983, Qatar)

Adapting with the idea of home systems, Central Midkhan is designed to distribute scent into more than one direction and place. When not in use, this industrial-looking installation creates a strong aesthetic statement that celebrates design in various industries. This installation takes the idea of a traditional and local ritual and transforms it into a global concept of home systems.

Aisha Nasser Al Sowaidi is a multidisciplinary designer whose designs are an expression of a Qatari designer towards the fast-developing country, globalisation, and traditions. Al Sowaidi rethinks the forms of the daily objects within a household, moving the traditional artefacts towards contemporary forms and functions.
