ABOUT US

Marco van Ham & Bassam Kadhiyar are the Founders and Directors of Zhuzh.

​

An accumulation of over 20 years of design experience, in Netherlands and then recent years, Malaysia & Middle East have given them an understanding of beauty found in varied cultures and identities. This journey of crossing cultures enables him to bring sensibilities and strengths of both the Western and Eastern worlds to the design table.

 

With an innate creative flair and visionary spirit, Marco and Bassam continue to push limitations where design is concerned, not confined to interiors but transcending boundaries of architecture, art, sculptural objects and branding. Their strong eye for immaculate details and rigorous passion for transformative spaces has carried the studio to new levels of design achievements.

​

Combined with unwavering passion and an intuitive approach to design, Marco & Bassam pave the way for a revival of craftmanship and a bespoke curation of unique materials. This enthusiasm is expressed through their love for art and fashion providing them a deep-seated sense of materiality, form and texture. This constant seeking for new sources of inspiration is the catalyst for the studio’s growth, driving the creation of immersive experiences for the present and future.
