'It is with a heavy heart that we post this. A heavy heart for humanity, a heavy heart for the Innocent lives lost, a heavy heart for the year of hard work, passion, love and determination to bring WE Design Beirut to life. Our values and moral responsibility cannot allow us to celebrate in such dark times in history' write Mariana Wehbe (founder) and Samer Al Ameen (partner) on social media.
We Design Beirut was scheduled on October 27-30, 2023. The multidisciplinary annual event aims to celebrate and promote design and creativity through a program that includes designer showcases, installations, talks and workshops in the fields of interior design, architecture, furniture, product design, functional art, ceramics, home accessories and rugs. Founded by Mariana Wehbe in collaboration with Samer Alameen and Bananamonkey, the annual event engages both established and emerging designers, artisans, specialists, and educators, focusing on themes of empowerment, preservation, and sustainability.
