The Lahmu Coffee Table is part of the Sizar Alexis Collection, made in black-stained solid oak. Its profile is deliberately low, with a wide, organic silhouette built from layered construction. One side carries a distinctive angular recessed cutout that interrupts the otherwise monolithic form and creates a shadow line. Surfaces are smooth and rounded; the colour is uniformly deep, close to black.
Sizar Alexis presented the Lahmu series at the Wallpaper Discovered exhibition at the Design Museum in London in 2021. The collection's name draws from Mesopotamian mythology, and the coffee table carries that same cultural weight into a domestic format. Lahmu is the piece in the series at living-room scale, designed to anchor a seating group without imposing on it.
Solid oak, hand-assembled. Available on Monde Singulier within the Sizar Alexis Collection.

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.
His work holds two forces in tension: the geometric weight of brutalist forms and the cultural memory of ancient Mesopotamia. "I want to convey a sense of chaos and harmony at the same time," he has said. As a descendant of the Chaldean diaspora with roots tracing to northern Iraq, Alexis channels that history into functional sculpture. Collections such as Lahmu and Ousia translate Mesopotamian symbolism into geometric furniture, pieces that read simultaneously as domestic objects and as cultural arguments. The Discovered exhibition at the Design Museum in London in 2021 brought his work to international attention; the Common/un/common duo show at Atelier Ecru Gallery in Ghent in 2022 confirmed its standing. He is an AD 100 designer.
On Monde Singulier, his pieces offer collectible design furniture that carries historical depth rarely found in Scandinavian production.
