The Asateer Story is centuries old and begins in a time when the people of the gulf region were recognized worldwide for pearling.
The months spent at sea, the danger, the songs sung to pass time, the salt, the sweat, the livelihood resting in the shadows of the seafloor, shape a hard but beautiful story.
Mohammed grew up surrounded by family stories of pearling and the lure of the sea. As the grandson of a pearl diver and the son of an entrepreneur, Mohammed’s passion for design had a heritage and a work ethic ready to be applied to something of his own – Asateer. A chance to interpret a contemporary pearling vision and breath new life into Mother of Pearl, Asateer is a crafted discovery of culture and design.
