Hamza Al-Omari is a Jordanian-Canadian product designer. His interest in a multidisciplinary practice prompted his decision to join design studios such as LOCI Arch.+Design, Tinkah and now Palmwood.
Al-Omari's work has been exhibited in Dubai, Sharjah, Jordan, Vancouver and London. While employed with Tinkah,Al-Omari took part in working on representing the UAE during the London Biennale of 2018. With a culturally driven robotic installation, the UAE grabbed global headlines. Al-Omari's products have also been exhibited in Reinventing Heritage, Sharjah, Dubai Design, AR Gallery – State of Earth, Voices of Design, Nomadic Traces, Abu Dhabi. Al-Omari creatively marries innovation with function, pushing the boundaries of what is possible whilst responding to the context of the product.Through a process of questioning and scrutiny towards every stage of design, each project is dealt with within the constraints it requires. Al-Omari believes that good design maximizes function within form, encompassing both social and environmental integrity.
Hamza Omari produced 'Zea' as part of his participation in Tanween 2017. He was also the winner of the Van Cleef & Arpels Middle East Emergent Designer Prize 2017.
