For BEIT, Nicolaou has revisited two pieces from ‘A Side (Tables) Project’, reimagined with bright colour palettes and bold shapes inspired by Lebanese culture.

Thalis Nicolaou is a Cypriot designer,  specialising in furniture, although perhaps his approach to creative work is best typified as problem-solving. Whether the focus is a fridge that tackles food waste or an artisan approach to flat-pack furniture, his practice centres on finding elegant solutions to technical challenges. Nicolaou skillfully balances aesthetics with functionality and proves unexpected joy can be found through ingenious solutions to external limitations.
