The Beirut Design Fair is one of the Middle East’s most significant events celebrating contemporary and collectible design. With deep roots in Lebanese culture, the fair highlights designers who blend heritage and innovation—making Beirut an emerging destination for global design collectors and professionals.
Joy Mardini Design Gallery has proudly exhibited at the fair, supporting emerging talent and showcasing curated works from Lebanon’s most visionary creators.
A Confluence of Creatives and Collectors
Held annually in Beirut, the fair features collaborations between design galleries, studios, architects, and artisans. Notable contributors have included Carwan Gallery, Studio Caramel, and independent designers such as Carla Baz and Charles Kalpakian.
These diverse voices form a cohesive celebration of Lebanese design identity, unified under one roof.
Supporting the Next Generation
The fair’s “SPOT ON!” pavilion is a standout feature—dedicated exclusively to emerging Lebanese designers. Each year, 20 handpicked talents showcase new concepts, materials, and production methods. Their inclusion affirms the region’s role in shaping future design.

Curated Experiences and Cultural Events
Beyond the exhibitions, the Beirut Design Fair features conferences, local design tours, and design-centric culinary events. “The Banquet,” a curated dining experience hosted around a handcrafted cedar wood table, brings together designers and guests to share Lebanese cuisine—often prepared by chefs like Maroun Chedid.
Connecting Local Design to Global Networks
The Beirut Design Fair collaborates with international design bodies, including the prestigious Maison & Objet, reinforcing Beirut’s emerging identity as a hub for contemporary collectible design.
