Samir Hamiane has his workshop in Kouba, Algeria and likes to talk about Algerian craftsmanship. He is a craftsman whose career began on his return to Algeria, having lived abroad for a number of years. He creates objects that differ from each other, but are always inspired by his Algeria, his Kasbah, his country. The search for originality and creativity in his work is his motto, "I remain fascinated by old objects, I am inspired by old material heritage and make sure that I breathe a touch of modernity into it". Because of the complicated and expensive customs formalities, you will find his work only sporadically outside Algeria.
