is an antidisciplinary artist-designer-curator. His making practice is driven by a keen interest in material and cultural context. Currently, he is exploring notions of weightlessness, impermanence, and the primordial.

PATINAPATINA Magazine is a print publication and cultural arts organization founded by Dan and Maham Momin in 2023. Curious about the confusion of mixed cultural identities, the magazine works with diasporic artists whose work reinterprets tradition through contemporary lenses/contexts.

Dan's work has been recognized by organizations such as USM Modular Furniture, DesignMiami, and the Royal Ontario Museum. He is a graduate of OCAD University’s Industrial program [2023]. PATINAPATINA Issue 01 can be found in shops around the world.

KOMOREBI
[2022]
48” x 25” x 18”
aluminum plate, red oak
THIS PIECE IS AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE, PLEASE REACH OUT TO INQUIRE ABOUT PRICE
KOMOREBI was featured in 3 self-funded group furniture shows, summer-fall 2022.
An unconventional furniture piece intended to encourage a more purposeful relationship between owner and object. The aluminum plate acts like a ‘second skin’, creating new ways to engage with the table - framing objects below and casting delicate shadows (hence the name komorebi 木漏れ日, meaning ‘sunlight filtering through leaves).
