Following the successful Up, Close and Personal showcase at Rossana Orlandi gallery in Milan during last year’s edition of Salone del Mobile, designer Nada Debs presents her new Marquetry Mania collection on home turf at her very own showroom in Beirut. The collection explores the handcrafted technique of marquetry by applying a playful yet powerful interpretation to it. Circumventing the expected, the collection comprises of home accessories and furniture with a softer edge. Applying linear forms onto rounded shapes breaks down the paradox and gives rise to a distinctly contemporary interpretation of this old Middle Eastern craft. Mania is conveyed by striking colour combinations, bold shapes and raving mirror reflections. The full range of Marquetry Mania designs is on display at the Nada Debs showroom.

Publishers Note
Just to be clear – superfuture® is a design blog and not a political commentator. No surprise there. The scope of our content has always been global and borderless, however that can often mean covering projects in countries where we will not agree with the politics or actions of those countries. In a world that’s as screwed up as ever right now, the focus of our support is to those designers, architects and other creatives who aim to make the world a more liveable one – as opposed to people that try their hardest to destroy it. So if a project hits our desk and we like it based on its design credentials, we may choose to publish regardless of its location or creators nationality. superfuture® has always been inclusive and hopes for all current wars, aggression, violence, hate and extremism to end.
