Middle East Designers at Milan Design Week
Two Lebanese creatives collaborate on Hey Banksy.
Fadi Sarieddine, the Lebanese architect and founder of the Dubai-based, Fadi Sarieddine Design Studio and Naji El-Mir, the Lebanese graphic designer, typographer and illustrator and founded the Paris-based multidisciplinary design studio Ne-Po, collaborated in creating Hey Banksy.
Developed as a tribute to the social activism of anonymous artists and graffitists, the limited collection combines marble, brass and a cone spry-painted with verses from Mahoud Darwish’s poem, On This Land.
A portion of the proceeds from Hey Banksy will go to Visualizing Impact, a non-profit organization for innovation and creation of impactful tools highlighting critical social issues around the world.
