The inaugural edition of We Design Beirut, a dynamic city-wide event celebrating the best of Lebanese design, is set to take over the Lebanese capital from until 26 May 2024. The four-day immersive event, founded by Mariana Wehbe in partnership with industrial designer Samer Alameen and visual communications studio Bananamonkey, aims to deliver a packed programme with three main showcases, based on pillars of Preservation, Empowerment and Sustainability.
Each theme takes over a separate physical hub of historical or architectural significance, alongside a host of axillary exhibitions, designer showcases, open studios, installations, talks and workshops, all centered on design, architecture and art.
