Yara Abu Aataya is a multidisciplinary designer born in Gaza and based in Prague. She studied architecture at UMPRUM, Academy of Arts Architecture and Design. Her current work focuses on graphic design and social media, but her creative scope also includes many other disciplines such as scenography and product design. Her current project ~1 hour, which she presented for the first time at Designblok 2023, deals with the fluidity of time and ways to stop it in hectic times, at least for a while. The collection of hourglasses and other interior accessories combines the contemporary theme of recycling, imprints of the Arabian desert, love for Czech craft and design, and working with one's own identity.
