In his fifth selection of the most dazzling and significant residences in Beirut, Hani Samaha has teamed up with world-renowned interior architect Jean- Louis Mainguy to bring you the epitome of high society living. After the tremendous success of “Palaces of Lebanon: The lost Heritage”, Samaha never ceased searching for residences that would equal such wealth and opulence. Throughout this book, and in collaboration with Jean-Louis Mainguy, he has unlocked the secrets of another world.
From behind closed doors through which only the privileged may gain access, Samaha presents an anthology of architectural and design styles, a large proportion of which were commissioned from the great Mainguy himself. Each page of “Beirut Splendor, Timeless Elegance: with Exclusive Designs by Jean-Louis Mainguy” thrills the senses with exquisite fabrics and magnificent antiques, gorgeous decorative finishes and astounding views, semi-precious stone finishings and priceless paintings.
Having created homes for the rich and famous all over Europe, America and the Arabian Gulf and designed interiors for their owner’s private jets and mega yachts, Mainguy’s astonishing work in Lebanon is extensively brought out to the public in this book. From a vast country estate in the Bekaa Valley, to extravagant penthouse apartments in Beirut; from infinity pools in Bahmian-like surroundings to twirling staircases swathed with fer forge banisters, Mainguy’s imagination knows no bounds, spreading over the world’s five continents.
Samaha has been committed to documenting the very finest residences to be found in Lebanon, where art and culture are celebrated for their timeless beauty and elegance. No other author has gained such exclusive access nor such insight into the lives of Beirut’s elite society, where dreams come true right before your very eyes.
