Samer Alameen

Samer Alameen is an industrial designer in Milan whose work is anchored in story-telling, a trait that stems from advertising. Born in Beirut in 1971, he graduated from the Lebanese American University in 1992 in Fine Arts and Advertising and worked for agencies including Grey Worldwide and McCann Erikson across the Levant, the Gulf and North Africa before opening his own image consultancy studio in 2006.

His first collection, Walking Objects, was inspired by the Khayzaran chair and drew attention from Elle Deco and AD, encouraging him to take a Master’s in industrial design at Scuola Politecnica di Design in Milan in 2014. His practice moves between exclusive handmade one-off pieces and industrially produced objects, reinventing forms through history, treasured memories and tradition.
