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.

The suspension of a cloudy acrylic tabletop gives a sense of weightlessness, subverting the mass of its solid steel construction. An experiment in equilibrium brought to life through unique form.
