Based between Beirut and Paris, Stephanie Sayar and Charbel Garibeh create experimental designs that blend traditional craft techniques with contemporary innovation and wit. Sayar & Garibeh formed their Beirut studio in 2015 after graduating in Interior Architecture at Lebanese University. Teetering between the functional, decorative and sculptural, their playful works are fabricated in materials like terracotta, marble, resin and foam, and are always rebelling against the expected. The pair find inspiration in Lebanese daily life and culture – its contrasts, diversity and richness, resulting in collection upon collection of functional objects with an unconventional edge.
