  • foll[i]land is the studio’s first collection launched at the Beirut Design 2018. The Foll[i] is the anchor item of the collection best described as furniture for nature.

    Following a research in the shrinking green spaces and the controlled access to the few available parks in Beirut,

    the designers created foll[i], a small vertical garden to recreate the joy of nature within our individual spaces

  • Modern coffee table with a wooden top, three marble cylindrical legs, and two attached round marble side tables, on a grey carpeted floor with a plain grey wall in the background.
  • Modern sculpture consisting of a large black marble cylinder, a gold-colored horizontal platform, a gold arm, and a clear glass bulb on top with a sprig inside.
  • Technical diagram showing components of a cylindrical object, including marble, brass rings, onyx interior, and rubber base in exploded and 3D views.
  • A modern standing plant holder with a small potted plant, a large fern in a terracotta pot, and a black table lamp, set against a plain wall.

  • The collection - inspired by urban artefacts, celebrates the use of different metals and marbles for a variety of uses and suggested functions- is an exploration of behavioral patterns in various scales with works that defeat gravity and challenge equilibrium.

    The products feature unique stories, symbols, and references to traditional objects, expressed in a minimalistic sense.
