Dubai Design Week 2021 has invited a range of designers and design brands based in Lebanon to take part in the region’s largest creative festival, in order to provide much needed support to the Lebanese creative community.
A key element of this support initiative will be The Beirut Concept Store that will showcase a collective of Lebanese design talent within the Downtown Design fair.
Curated by Mariana Wehbe, founder and creative director of Mariana Wehbe Public Relations, The Beirut Concept Store is a collective design effort to bring the spirit of the Lebanese design scene to the centre stage, providing visibility and commercial opportunity, set within a scenography imagined and executed by the multi-talented designer and artist Rumi Dalle.
Facilitated by shipping company CMA CGM, the official shipping sponsors for the Beirut Concept Store, as well as the generous lighting sponsorship from Electra Solutions, the curatorial capitalization on individual creative value rather than monetary value is at the core of the MWPR vision for the Beirut Concept Store.
