Rafael El Baz is a London-based artist and designer working at the intersection of material research, traditional craft, and contemporary fabrication. His projects range from bespoke objects to large-scale public realm commissions, often developed through close collaboration with communities. Grounded in a heritage that values responsibility, renewal, and the weaving together of fractured stories, his practice transforms overlooked materials and industrial remnants into works that carry narrative, preserve local histories, and foster connection.
