Orient 499

Top choice in Beirut


Entranced by Middle Eastern design, Frank Luca and Aida Kawas decided to establish this atelier and boutique, where they design and make some objects (including Aida Kawas' wonderful clothing) and also sell products and artefacts sourced from other countries in the region. Expensive but exquisite homewares, handmade soaps, ceramics, metalwork, toys and furniture are on offer.
