6 Lebanese designers received Rising Talent Awards and a platform at this year’s show.
In partnership with Maison + Objet
Every design lover, designer, architect and industry professional will be in Paris from 7-11 September for their biannual Maison + Object fair. And this year, attendees can look forward to seeing the work of the Designer of the Year 2018, Ramy Fischler, as well as the work of six Lebanese designers who have been designated as Rising Talents. Those who were awarded the top honour include: Carlo Massoud, Marc Dibeh, Carla Baz, Anastasia Nysten, Caramel Studio and Paola Sakr. Representing the future of Lebanese design, they were selected because they are working with local and little known manufacturing techniques to give life to their contemporary creative visions.
