The brief

Ramadan is remembered in small things. A kitchen before iftar. A street after taraweeh. Coffee on the roof at suhoor.

Every year brands arrive with the same crescent and the same gold. We wanted to start from the memory instead.

The idea

One sky, lit by everyone's Ramadan.

A visitor shares one moment, in Arabic or English, and the feeling in it shapes a lantern: the colour of its light, the star in its lattice, the way it flickers. Two lines of verse go with it, one in each language. Then the visitor releases it into the night, among the lanterns the studio has already lit.

The memory itself is never kept. Only the lantern and its verse remain.
