Mohasseb is a Lebanese architect and designer. He studied architecture in Washington D.C., at Ecole Boulle in Paris and Domus Academy in Milan. In 2007, he opened his company "wood&" in Paris, working on projects focused on wood, his favorite material.

Since then, he has been experimenting with many other materials, like brass, resin, plaster, to create furniture combining traditions of the Middle East and a totally contemporary design.

His constant search for materiality and immateriality has defined his approach to design. He creates limited numbers of timeless designs, focusing on excellent craftsmanship and a complex expression of materials. Georges creates nonconformist functional art for Studio Manda, bridging diverse creative influences in every bespoke piece, with a common storyline converging nature, materiality and artisanship to evoke conversations.

The work is mainly inspired by forces of nature that can shape natural elements. The presence of wood is always prominent in many of Georges’ designs, due to its connectivity, liveliness, and texture.

His creations have been displayed and selected for several international institutions and exhibitions, including Nomad Venice 2019 with Carwan gallery; with Galerie Gabriel & Guillaume in NYC for Salon 2019; with Galerie Gosserez, PAD, Paris, 2019; Collect, House of Fly, London, 2019; Carwan Gallery at Nomad, Monaco and St Moritz, 2017; House of Today, Beirut, 2016; London Biennale, 2016; and PAD, Paris, London, 2013 and 2014.
