Selected by Samir Bantal

In 'Eyes of Gold', we invite some of our favourite tastemakers with a golden eye to select three works from the Bisou collection. Each guest explains their choices and shares how these pieces might live together in their space.

For the latest edition of the series, we invited Samir Bantal. Samir is an architect and the director of AMO, the research, strategy, and design arm of OMA – Office for Metropolitan Architecture. At AMO, he works at the intersection of architecture, politics, culture, fashion, media, and the built environment, shaping ideas that often extend far beyond buildings alone.

Samir is not an architect who simply designs buildings. Over time, he has developed into a sharp and critical design thinker, using architecture as a tool to question systems and narratives. It’s a quality I’ve always admired, and one that clearly resonated with Rem Koolhaas as well.

In this image by Mounir Raji, Samir is photographed at his home in Rotterdam, sitting in front of a beautifully faded Kumi Sugaï lithograph, an artist we both admire greatly. For his Eyes of Gold feature, however, Samir selected three works by other artists represented by Bisou.
