Al-Falaq & An-Nas Square Kufic Wall Art, Set of Two

Two square panels, made to hang as a pair: Surah Al-Falaq on one, Surah An-Nas on the other. Both are set in square Kufic — the geometric style in which every letter is squared to a grid and interlocked with its neighbours until the text reads as a single dense lattice inside one border. Close up you can follow the line of the script; from across the room it settles into pattern. The two surahs are known together as al-Mu'awwidhatayn, the two chapters of seeking refuge, and are customarily recited together — which is why we make them as a pair.

Each panel is cut on the CO2 laser in our own Dubai workshop from cast acrylic (3 mm in gloss black, 2 mm in mirror gold and silver), then float-mounted so it stands a little off the wall. The shadow that falls through the lattice does as much work as the acrylic itself, shifting through the day. In gloss piano black the pair reads graphic and quiet; in mirror gold or mirror silver they pick up whatever light the room is holding.

• Material: cast acrylic (3 mm in gloss black, 2 mm in mirror gold and silver), laser-cut and finished in our Dubai workshop
• Finishes: gloss piano black, mirror gold or mirror silver — both panels come in the finish you choose
• Sizes: sized per panel: each of the 2 panels is 30 × 30, 40 × 40, 50 × 50, 60 × 60, 70 × 70 or 90 × 90 cm (square), and every panel is cut on its own. The size of the whole set is shown under the size buttons and in the size guide.
• Mounting: float-mounted so each panel sits proud of the wall — hang side by side with an even gap between them
• Made in the UAE: designed and cut in our own workshop in Dubai
• Gifting: a considered piece for a new home, a marriage, or the days around Ramadan and Eid
