Ornamental by Lameice Abu Aker

Lameice Abu Aker is a designer living between Jerusalem and Milan. She studied furniture design at the Politecnico in Milan, but a chance encounter with a generations-old family glass workshop in the village of Jaba, Palestine, inspired her to create Ornamental by Lameice, a wildly creative collection of glassware and tableware. TLmag spoke with Abu Aker about her creative practice, her fascination with the alchemy of glass and the history of glass-making in Palestine.
