KALO

KALO is the design practice of Ammar Kalo, a designer and architect whose work interrogates the relationship between digital technology and traditional craft. Ranging from spatial design to small-scale objects, the studio expresses the dialogue between materiality and form through heightened attention to detailing.

Its projects move from spaces such as the GIBCA Group Majlis to furniture, objects and research work, including robotically fabricated pieces. Kalo received the Emerging Designer award from Harper’s Bazaar Interiors, and in 2016 the Cooper-Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum in New York acquired two of his pieces for its permanent collection.
