Made by Shadi. In a small design studio in Beirut, Shadi hand prints on residual linen from the furniture and clothing industry, which would otherwise have been wasted. The prints are hundreds of years old wooden stamps from Damascus that Shadi and his brother have collected themselves.
Shadi studied design in Syria before fleeing to Lebanon. Now he wants to preserve this old craft tradition through quality products and modern design.
The brothers also train other Syrian families in Lebanon to make products full of Syrian craft traditions, cultural heritage and sustainable material use.
