the designer

Karen Chekerdjian is a Lebanese designer known for her experimental, narrative-driven approach to design. Starting her career in advertising and branding, she later studied under Massimo Morozzi at DOMUS Academy in Milan and worked with him at EDRA, where her first work, Mobil, was produced in 1999.

Rather than follow a stylistic path, Chekerdjian’s work explores ambiguity, adaptability, and the shifting boundaries between function, form, and interpretation — often resisting fixed definitions and encouraging open dialogue with the user.
