This Ziggurat is composed of 4 boxes of differentsizes that can be used individually or stacked together to ceate the fulliconic tower.With the Ziggurat series Oeuffice explores the world of Middle Eastern architecture and ornamental structures. Collaborating with a Lebanese craftsman specialized in wood inlay, Oeuffice has created a system of four independent boxes that stack together forming a monumental tower fitted for the domestic landscape. The form evokes a simplification of traditional Muqarnas found in Middle Eastern architecture, and the inlaid ornamentation provides a new interpretation of scale and an unexpected shift of direction in traditional pattern standards.Oeuffice was founded in 2011 as a collaboration between Nicolas Bellavance-Lecompte and Jakub Zak. After many years of a parallel life between Canada, Berlin and Milan, they united to form Oeuffice, a new research laboratory with a focus on developing innovative objects of limited edition. Their work reflects a common ideal of creating objects inspired by visions of a contemporary utopia and has been exhibited internationally with various galleries including Phillips de Pury in London, R20th in New York, Dimore Gallery in Milan and Carwan Gallery in Beirut.
