Sami Succari is a furniture maker, designer and woodworker with a passion for fine craftsmanship using solid wood. Hailing from Damascus, Syria, the love for woodwork came easily to Sami when he started working with Master Craftsman, Arthur Lamon as an apprentice. During his time as an apprentice, Sami learned the fundamentals of woodworking and soon began to create pieces of his own before eventually moving on to taking projects of his own after Lamon has left the country.

Throughout his career as a craftsman, Sami continues to hone his skills as a woodworker. His passion towards every piece is evident from the fine joinery, to the detailed carvings, as well as his extensive knowledge of every piece of wood, tools and its uses. Over the years, Sami’s pieces have proudly furnished a number of establishments across Penang, KL & Singapore, adding to their aesthetics along with quality that lasts for generations.

Sami will be offering workshops in his studio and you can meet him and watch him work there, October 7th & 8th and 14th & 15th, 2pm – 5pm.
