What does the future hold for 'PlyPalm'? Watch the talk online at your leisure on our YouTube or IGTV channels, then join Tanween alumni Lina Ghalib for this live Q&A session where you raise the questions on the unique material created by the designer during her participation in Tanween 2020. Lina developed 'PlyPalm', a hardwood material made of dried palm tree branches, through a process of experimentation. By peeling, cutting, scoring and puncturing the branches, Lina was able to reclaim the seasonally-shed leaves and turn the waste into furniture. Learn more about where the material stands within a historical and contemporary context and how it builds on existing traditions, offering new potentials for arish.
