Henry Dakak Jr

Henry Dakak Jr. is a Lebanese designer based in Beirut. He founded HHD in 2010. Propelled by a sense of the avant-garde, his creations traverse past and present, traditional and contemporary styles. His work preserves the knowledge, essence, and value of master craftsmanship. Henry is known for his contemporary revival of techniques such as cabinetwork and ironwork in which he marries cold and warm materials, and high-end sophistication with raw material beauty. A firm believer that perfection comes from intuition, his work is defined by a continuous, unrelenting evolution. He creates in bursts of inspiration, creatively sourcing his material from used or derelict objects. In this second life, recycled objects and details are often estranged them from their original function and personalized–“given a soul” as he might say. All HHD designs may be custom-made, accommodating the individual tastes of his buyers. More than merely decorative items, HDD designs are time vessels that transcend different eras to merge the best of every epoch.
