He sees that as an opportunity to see time as the totality of three separate elements: past, present and future, considering the past, living the present but at the same time preparing ourselves for the future and/or eternal life.
For Richard Yasmine, the best way to be truly aware of this intangible dimension is through the design object. Time is a concept, something we cannot physically touch but which we cannot ignore.
Indeed, time is the key to interpreting this collection, implied with more or less subtle references: the backrest of the armchair is reminiscent of a tombstone, the pendulum clock is a reminder to seize the moment - carpe diem - but at the same time shows a glimmer of light for the future and, lastly, the wall lamp, whose rays of light forming a luminous circle pointedly suggest a halo. (.) what is beautiful is a joy for all seasons, a possession for all eternity.” Because The Cure really proposes that timeless beauty that is revealed to be deeply sustainable because it is not affected by passing fads and fashions, and is always relevant. Perhaps the best way to sum up the message that Richard Yasmine is sending is with some famous words by Oscar Wilde: “Beauty is the only thing that time cannot harm. The texture of these materials is skillfully enhanced with artisan techniques that, in this case, also embrace the world of dressmaking, with handmade embroidery featuring beads, pearls and silk. The collection is made of white powder-coated aluminium structure combined with various other materials such as brass, seamless neo-cement, suede, and Carrara marble. Yasmine has designed an armchair, a pendulum clock and a wall-mounted light. Faithful to its name, which refers to the restorative power of beauty and to these items that are a gift of peace to our souls that are always under tension, after last year's pastel shades, the dominant colour in this work is white. On the other hand, his new collection “THE CURE” (HEAVENLY PIE(A)CES) stands out because it is the purest of whites. Richard Yasmine's work is distinguished by its very close ties to the artisan tradition of Lebanon and last year it was expressly reminiscent of the vernacular architecture in his home country, with the arched shapes of his furniture and accessories. One of the hotly anticipated guests at MDW2019 is the Lebanese designer, Richard Yasmine, whose HAWA Beirut ( link) and Wake up Call collections were met with great success at the 2018 edition. The 58th edition of Milan Design Week - the highly anticipated event for the world of design, where all the latest trends in interior decor, household accessories and flooring are showcased - is just around the corner (link Agnese).

A glance at the new collection by the Lebanese designer, Richard Yasmine - The Cure - on display during Milan Design Week 2019 suggests that the answer is yes.
Gold Extra Hard (BTH) bits are designed for driving screws into normal construction timbers and materials. Extra-Tough (BTZ) bits are suited to metal joiting, threaded fasteners and general use. Additionally, where screws are driven into resistant materials such as hard woods, concrete screws and ABS plastics diamond-coated bits ‘bite’ into the fastener ensuring a secure fit and reducing cam-out effect. Diamond-Coated (BDC) bits ensure safe working, especially driving screws into delicate materials or high-quality surfaces, preventing slip.
Torsion zone absorbs peak stress loads that normally destroy bits. Utilising a combination of special materials, hardening and precision manufacture, BiTorsion bits are designed to prevent premature wear and dramatically extend service life. Wera Bit-Safe comprehensive torsion bits and Rapidaptor holder set is designed for users on the move needing a broad selection of drive profiles with multiples of the same bit.
