Celebrity Homes: Elie Saab


Simple and Elegant. The two words that instantly came to mind when I first saw the images of fashion designer Elie Saab’s home in Beirut. I love the refined palette, it produces a grand atmosphere in such a stylish way. Almost all the furniture occupying the space is custom made, adding a touch of distinctiveness. My favorite feature would have to be the high ceilings, I've always appreciated homes with staggering heights, they emanate more of deluxe feel. I can't think of how interior designer/architect Chakib Richani could've designed it better. Absolutely stunning! I can definitely see myself living in a home like this.

Rotganzen: Melting Diso Balls

Those stunning melting disco balls are made by Rotganzen, an artist collective based situated in the Netherlands. Consisting of styrofoam and polyurethane foam with a top layer of mirror mosaic pieces, those balls look as though they have been overly utilized and drained from all the motion! However the designers see them as "a figure of overly voluptuous but sagging forms" and their main inspiration came from a human belly,YES you read it right, and I'm referring to the kind that deforms with age. Despite the odd influence it's quite inspiring and the end result is remarkable, I would love to own a few and place them randomly anywhere just for the vivacity and the light that they echo.

Emerald Green

Emerald Green, color of 2013.

"Most often associated with brilliant, precious gemstones, the perception of Emerald is sophisticated and luxurious. Since antiquity, this luminous, magnificent hue has been the color of beauty and new life in many cultures and religions. Also the color of growth, renewal and prosperity, no other color conveys regeneration more than green. For centuries, many countries have chosen green to represent healing and unity."
