Assi / Joseph MEIDAN
1987/Ongoing
Working between object, space, and material research. His practice focuses on transformation — observing how materials shaped by construction, use, and time can be redirected through minimal intervention.
His work often begins with situations encountered in everyday environments: construction sites, industrial components, or standardized building systems. Through processes of collection, assembly, and displacement, these elements are recontextualized without erasing their origin.
Moving between unique pieces and evolving systems, his projects explore the moment where functional structures shift into objects of domestic or spatial presence. Light, support, and construction recur as central themes, approached as ongoing investigations rather than fixed forms.
Alongside independent works, he develops Brut Hardware, a modular aluminum framework conceived as an open structure capable of adapting across furniture, exhibition, and architectural contexts.

SIDEWALK VEILS
A series of unique lamps made from fragments of temporary pedestrian sidewalks collected after construction sites were dismantled. Ephemeral urban infrastructure is transformed into permanent light objects, extending a moment of transition into a longer material lifespan.
