Contemporary Luxury

Timeless design meets sculptural elements at this high-rise apartment in Lebanon

This apartment, crafted by Jeffrey Meawad – founder of the eponymous Jeffrey Meawad Design & Architecture studio – seamlessly blends minimalist aesthetics with artful design, creating a harmonious balance of elegance and warmth. Meawad’s signature approach to refined living is evident in every detail, resulting in a home that feels both sophisticated and inviting.

The main seating area draws inspiration from mid-century modern design, featuring Pierre Augustin Rose sofas and Finn Juhl Pelican armchairs. These are set atop a bespoke silky rug designed by Meawad

The journey of the home begins at the entrance, where a back-to-back carved French oak wall system immediately captures the attention. Both sculptural and functional, this striking feature serves as a partition, subtly delineating the reception area from the private living quarters. Beyond its architectural presence, the wall transforms into a stylish bar and lounge display. In the reception area, a sculptural travertine table with organic lines commands the room. Paired with mint-green swivel chairs, this multifunctional centrepiece is anchored by a custom rug that mirrors its form, harmonising effortlessly with B&B Italia’s Flair O’ chairs. The seating area pays homage to mid-century modern design, featuring Pierre Augustin Rose sofas and Finn Juhl Pelican armchairs, all set atop a bespoke silky rug designed by Meawad himself. Neutral-toned, textured wall panelling provides a serene backdrop, while integrated features like a sleek travertine chimney, a discreet wine cellar and an art wall create layers of visual and functional intrigue. 

Adjacent to the bar, a sculpted, multifunctional travertine table with an organic form takes center stage, paired with mint green swivel Flair O’ chairs by B&B Italia. Beneath this table lies a custom-made rug mirroring the organic shape of the table

The dining area is a celebration of materiality and form. A striking Patagonia Glace marble table takes centre stage, surrounded by soft pink Meridiani chairs. This inviting setup combines tactile luxury with an air of understated elegance, making it perfect for intimate gatherings or grand dinners. Throughout the apartment, bursts of vibrancy punctuate the neutral palette. Carefully curated artwork and sculptural pieces inject energy and playfulness, creating moments of joy and surprise that enliven the space. These artistic elements, juxtaposed against the monochromatic backdrop, highlight Meawad’s talent for balancing restraint with bold expression.
