Kova represents the studio’s design division dedicated to lighting objects and decorative pieces inspired by a bespoke Kufic script. Over more than ten years, the letterforms were developed, refined, and reimagined through paintings and sculptural experiments eventually giving birth to a visual language both modern and anchored in heritage. Studio Eclart Kova translates this language into spatial objects that celebrate geometry, shadow, and crafted illumination.

رُزقتُ مع الخبز حُبَّكْ
ولا شأن لي بمصيريَ
ما دام قُرْبَكْ
فخُذْهُ أَيِّ معنى تريدُ
معي , أو أَو وحيداً

I approach square Kufic as a geometric structure that carries meaning and transforms language into a vibrant visual experience. Although rooted in religious and architectural contexts, for me it is a starting point for contemporary exploration.
I sought to free it from traditional ornamentation, reshaping and separating letters, building new relationships between script and space, creating a visual language that preserves its spirit while speaking today’s language.

Moving away from religious texts, I embraced contemporary poetry with new values and aesthetics, turning the text into a literary work within a visual piece, read anew through light and sensitivity.

I produced a series of paintings combining precise geometry and quiet spaces, carrying the essence of Kufic without replicating it.

Later, I transformed these compositions into decorative lighting elementschandeliers, lamps allowing square Kufic to live in our homes, adorning spaces, blending heritage and modernity, design and art, light and form.

تضيقُ بنا الأرضُ. تَحْشُرنا في الممرِّ الأخيرِ، فنخلعُ أعضاءَنا كي نمرَّ، وتعصرُنا الأرضُ. يا ليتنا قمحُها كي نموتَ ونحيا. ويا ليتها أُمُّنا لِترحمنا أُمُّنا. ليتنا صورٌ للصخور التي سوف يحملها حُلْمُنا مرايا. رأينا وجوهَ الذين سيقتلهم في الدفاع الأخير عن الروح آخرُنَا بكينا على عيد أطفالهم. ورأينا وجوهَ الذين سيرمون أطفالَنا من نوافذِ هذا الفضاء الأخير. مرايا سيصقُلُها نَجْمُنا. إلى أين نذهب بعد الحدود الأخيرة؟ أين تطير العصافير بعد السماءِ الأخيرة أين تنام النباتات بعد الهواء الأخير؟ سنكتب أسماءَنا بِالبُخَارِ الملوَّنِ بِالقُرْمُزِيِّ سنقطع كَفَّ النشيد لِيُكْمِلَهُ لَحْمُنا

هنا سنموت. هنا في الممر الأخيرِ.

هنا أو هنا سوف يغرسُ زَيْتُونَهُ..

دَمُنا.
