Beirut Design Fair: A new Fair In Town

The �rst event of its kind in the Lebanese capital, BEIRUT DESIGN FAIR took place at  BIEL from 20 – 24 September 2017.

BEIRUT DESIGN FAIR is principally dedicated to collectible and limited edition contemporary or vintage furniture as well as design objects. The fair

presented pieces by leading international designers and galleries from all across the world (Europe, USA, Middle East), with more than 50 exhibitors from

over 10 countries. It also included a non-commercial program consisting of conferences, round-tables, workshops, installations and live performances.

The aim of the fair is to emphasize the “MADE IN LEBANON” and to position Beirut as the Middle-East design epicenter. 

Winners of the �rst edition of the Beirut Design Award for creativity and innovation are:  @anastasia_nysten @stouff_design@beirutartresidency.

Committee: Aline Asmar d’Amman (architect, interior designer and artistic director), India Mahdavi (architect, designer and interior designer), Marc

Baroud (designer, director of the design department of the Lebanese Academy of Fine Arts), Marianne Brabant(from Modern and Contemporary

Department of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs de Paris), and Mathias Ohrel (founder of m-O conseil, a recruitment agency for all companies with strong

creative content ).

Moving to my favorite:

Anastasia Nysten

I had to wait in line just to have the chance to try her sofa, and only when i tried it I understood why people didn’t want to pass it over.

an eye for details; check the �nishes.

(Under Carwan Gallery)

It’s not my �rst time to write about this talented man, and it’s not my �rst time to share my love for his work.

“Mature” is the word I would like to use to describe his pieces.

The concept is always on point, perfect material selection, and above all,the structure techniques are just outstanding!

Although it was her �rst time exhibiting, she had a strong heart to design and produce several designs. That shared a massive success.
