The story
The Lahmu Vase is a compact object in black-stained solid oak. Its body is rectangular with a softly rounded, domed top. A central open groove runs the length of the dome, dividing its rounded peak into two halves. There is no applied ornament; the form carries the statement on its own.
Lahmu is drawn from Mesopotamian mythology, where the name denotes protective spirits associated with water and abundance. Sizar Alexis brought the Lahmu collection to the Wallpaper Discovered exhibition at the Design Museum in London in 2021, where the pieces were shown as a coherent group exploring ancient cultural symbolism through a contemporary material vocabulary.
The oak carries visible grain beneath the dark stain, a reminder that the material had a life before it was shaped. The vase holds a single stem or stands alone as a decorative object. Part of the Sizar Alexis Collection on Monde Singulier.
About Sizar Alexis
Sizar Alexis is a Swedish-Iraqi designer based in Eskilstuna, working at the intersection of Scandinavian brutalist design and ancient Mesopotamian heritage.
Before founding his studio in 2019, Alexis spent six years as a design engineer at Volvo, then studied fine arts at Beckmans College of Design. That formation, between industrial engineering and fine arts, shapes his practice throughout. He works with blackened steel, pine wood, and leather, materials both abundant in the Swedish landscape and tied to Eskilstuna's historic steel industry. Components for his pieces are produced in his father's metal tool factory, then hand-assembled in his own studio.
