In Beirut Interiors, the Art of Living; Hani Samaha takes of look inside the polished elegance of Lebanon’s most exclusive and select residences. Their doors have been opened wide for the first time ever, so that you may take a private tour around the stunning collections of antiques and masterpieces, rarely seen outside a circle of the privileged few.
An extraordinary range of sumptuous interiors is lavishly illustrated, from Italian to ultra-modern, French to African, oriental to cosmopolitan, in an enchanting portrait of the cherished gems enjoyed by the crème de la crème of Beirut’s society. Each one of them is a remarkable insight into the world of inspired design, a taste of what it is like to lead a life of perfect luxury. It puts the value of “living” back into the meaning of “art and culture”, and delights all lovers of refined taste and sophistication.
In his book Beirut Interiors, the Art of Living, Hani Samaha takes you on a guided tour of the most exclusive homes in Lebanon’s metropolitan capital.
You are invited to explore the wonder of priceless pieces of historical furniture as well as important 20th century art – seen for the first time ever in their charismatic surroundings. Coffered ceilings and delicate marble floors, antique porcelain or crystal chandeliers – each is presented with clarity and charm, unfolding before your eyes in a tapestry of refinement and luxury.
The architects and designers faced considerable challenges, for their clients were well educated in all aspects of art and culture. Having acquired extraordinary collections from all corners of the world, the elite in society expect nothing short of perfection from craftsmen and materials alike. They demand sophisticated panoramas for displaying those treasures and hosting lavish parties.
Beirut Interiors, the Art of Living, celebrates this creative outpouring in nineteen tantalizing chapters, each one with a unique story to tell. The superb photography captures every minute detail. Passion flows from the designer’s imagination through the camera’s lens and onto the pages as distinguished Italian courts, magnificent Oriental rooms, beautiful French salons or romantically arcaded terraces. For these owners, the Beirut penthouses and landscaped mansions are a reflection of their jet-setting lifestyles. Be their guest and take a grand tour inside the eloquent spaces they are privileged enough to call “home”.
