Fabrica design a collection of limited edition objects inspired by a trip to Lebanon in January 2013.

The collection interprets certain aspects of the Lebanese daily life, uncovering secret, undisclosed elements. Touring the Lebanese capital for a full week, the designers absorbed the visual, technical and aesthetic details that enrich the multi-faceted Lebanese culture.

The result is not just a collection of objects, but a unique international vision and interpretation of the Lebanese way of living, mixing past and present and paying homage to the future of an ongoing country.

Each designer work encapsulates the re-imagining of a distinct, time-honoured craft, where the specialized technique of the artisan has formed the basis for the designers creations.

In fact, the collection is developed following local traditional techniques and is produced by a team of expert craftsmen in Lebanon exclusively for the boutique of the National Museum of Beirut.
