UP, CLOSE & PERSONAL IN CONVERSATION WITH FAIZA IQTIDAR

INTERIOR DESIGNER AT

FIZZILICIOUS DESIGNS!

PAPERAZZI MAGAZINE

2019

Can you recall how and why you became furniture designer?

I started pretty early while I was still doing my BFA (Bachelors in Fine Arts) in 2007. I started as an internee with a renowned furniture designer and was then working part time with them and studying at the same time, till I did my Masters in Fine Arts. As an artist, I was always looking for an opportunity to harness my creativity and designing furniture pieces brought it all together, as it combined my love for painting and creating new things.

How is incorporating abstract art into furniture different then normal furniture designing?

Well, if by normal furniture designing, you mean furniture pieces in classic or contemporary styles that you can find in catalogues, then that’s kind of dull. It is when you combine good craftsmanship with creativity of abstraction, that I believe a piece of furniture becomes a piece of art. I feel like when I design a piece, I take into account space, colours, vibe and personality of the client to bring it to life. So this way its very different from regular run of the mill furniture.

What was your inspiration for your latest Iconic Collection ?

I have been painting nature inspired pieces like birds and flowers since 2013, as nature inspired me the most. It became pretty popular and still is but as an artist, I felt that I needed to grow and do some experimentation.

I wanted to be more expressive and let my creativity flow freely in this new style which is why I chose to create more of an expression on the pieces rather than a picture.

What comes first the material or the design idea?

Definitely the design idea or the inspiration for the design. I imagine the final look of that product in my mind and then think about how to achieve that look using different tools and materials. This process keeps developing till I achieve that image which I imagined.

What part of the process excites you the most, designing the furniture or in coporating the art?

Designing furniture is not something unique that only I am doing as there are many amazing designers out there. As an interior designer, I work with contemporary furniture too but when I incorporate art in my designed product or any regular piece its then when it becomes my statement piece. So for me incorporating the art in that furniture piece with my creativity is most exciting.

What would you say are your values and ethics when it comes to designing?

I have a high regard for values and ethics when it comes to my work, whether it’s a cake stand or a whole interior space, every client is important to me. I try to be fair and square in my dealings and by maintaining quality, durability within a reasonable price range. My main goal is to provide affordable yet practical and beautiful products to my clientele.

What makes you different / unique from other furniture makers?

Well, I think I haven’t seen customized Abstract hand painted furniture pieces being made by anyone else in Pakistan as yet! Every piece that I make is one of a kind, even I cant reproduce the same design “exactly” the same

way, so every piece is not only different from the mass produced stuff out there, but also individually exclusive.

Tell us how you organize, plan and prioritize your work?

As a freelancer, you have the flexibility to make your own schedule but you have to stay super organized in order to be on top of things. Being a Capricorn, I go into a lot of detailing, which I cant help and take my time planning each detail. I keep my records and notes organized and never compromise on deadlines! I push myself and my craftsmen harder in order to meet client’s needs as quality is more important to me than getting more projects.

What do you enjoy doing apart from designing and making furniture?

I try to enjoy everything, whatever life brings. I enjoy life, rain, travelling,getting lost, shopping, music, eating, exploring new places and what not. There is so much to cherish, you just have to savour it. You never know where you find your inspiration!

Lastly , we came to know you renovate old pieces also , tell us more about how you extended in renovation?

Renovation is our most popular thing! I feel that renovating old pieces of furniture not only brings them a new life but also people are able to hold on to pieces that are close to their heart, be it a bed set that you got on your wedding or a console that you have always loved but its polish has faded. In less then half of the actual product’s price we fix it, repair, repolish & reupholster.

ARIES (MAR. 21- APRIL 20) Inspiration strikes, Aries! A major breakthrough on Monday helps you think of entrepreneurial new ways to earn income. Reflect on your work life when Pluto retrogrades on Wednesday—if you’re not happy, it’s time for change. Sunday sparks a healing, compassionate conversation on a topic you need to discuss.

TAURUS (APR. 21- MAY 21) Happy birthday, Taurus! Your gift is change: On Monday, you experience a divine transition, so adapt to this wonderful new opportunity with confidence and gratitude. On Wednesday, Pluto retrogrades in your wisdom zone, inspiring you to make less reactive, fear-based decisions. Finally, on Sunday, gather with friends for birthday celebrations!

GEMINI (MAY 22-JUNE 21) Surrender, Gemini! Release your attachment to results. Monday frees you from rigid, controlling thinking, which helps you relax. Keep it real with partners when it comes to expectations and boundaries.

A career breakthrough is yours this Sunday—trust your intuition, and follow your gut!

CANCER (JUNE 22-JULY 22) Hey, new friend! Monday helps you explore new friendships so everyone feels mutually supported. Pluto retrogrades in your romantic sector on Wednesday, healing you from past heartbreak or trauma so you can love more fearlessly in the present. Time to get away? Sunday brings a fun adventure, so if you’re called to explore, have at it!

LEO (JULY 23-AUG 22) Career change, Leo? You’re ready for it, but you need to be confident and secure if you want to implement it. When Pluto retrogrades in your health/wellness sector, review your habits more responsibly—err on the side of exercising more discipline. Sunday shows you where you have high-quality bonds with friends and lovers.

VIRGO (AUG. 23 -SEPT. 23) Wanderlust, thy name is Virgo! Monday’s energy gives you the urge to learn and travel to international places. Pluto’s retrograde on Wednesday helps you clear any obstacles to feeling confident, and reminds you how worthy of joy, love, and success you already are.

Sunday’s energy has you focusing on love or work—zero in on the one you've been neglecting.

LIBRA (SEPT. 24 -OCT. 23) Let’s get real, Libra. Monday inspires you to think, speak, and behave as honestly as possible. You’re going to ruffle feathers, but the universe supports the truth telling. Pluto’s retrograde in your home and family space has you thinking about the people and places that make you feel safe. Sunday helps you strike a balance between big-picture vision and micro details. You can do both!

SCORPIO (OCT. 24 - NOV. 22) Love is in the spring air, Scorpio! Monday helps you transition or deepen your romances—explore how flexibility strengthens your ability to love. Pluto’s retrograde in your communication sector inspires you to think, listen, and speak more carefully and articulately.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 23 -DEC. 21) Concentrate, Sagittarius! Monday motivates you to find the divine in the details. Approach finances more responsibly when Pluto retrogrades in your income sector this Wednesday. Date night this Sunday?

Plan an activity that helps you both feel cherished, safe, and seen.

CAPRICORN (DEC 22.- JAN. 20) Work, Capricorn! Monday’s a huge confidence boost, so you’re showing and sharing your best self with the world. Pluto retrogrades in your sign on Wednesday, which could legitimize or validate your success even more if you’re as responsible as you can be. Sunday should be dedicated to mental, emotional, and physical self-care. Do you unapologetically!

AQUARIUS (JAN. 21.- FEB. 19) There’s no place like home, Aquarius! Monday’s tender energy helps you reach for the people and places that keep you safe. Is it time for a move? Possibly! Pluto’s retrograde gives you closure and healing wherever you need it. You’ll feel called to tell the truth on Sunday. It could be vulnerable and risky, but the reward for your candor will be wonderful.

PISCES (FEB. 20-MAR. 20) Speak up, Pisces! Monday’s verbal energy has you thinking and speaking clearly—straight talk leads to straight understanding, so keep it direct. Pluto retrogrades in your friendship space on Wednesday, so review expectations and energies across those connections. A boundary could be established on Sunday—just say what is and what is not okay!
