Founded by Rabih Kayrouz, Tala Hajjar and in collaboration with Solidere, STARCH is a non-profit organization that helps launch Lebanese emerging designers. It is an annual program and a rotation of debut collections where emerging designers and an architect are selected each year. The collections are presented for a period of one year at the STARCH boutique.
Stephanie Sayar & Charbel Gharibeh, have been part of Starch team 2016. Their approach to design encompasses their personal vision of experimental designs with a dash of humor using new materials and forms. They recently opened their studio Sayar & Garibeh, after developing their product design skills and exhibiting their work at a number of international fairs.
They will be showcasing Droop lamp, a table lamp that reflects a fusion between different materials to create a minimalist design. A combination of hand blown glass bulb, with a brass base, merged and blended with a geometrical marble block. The lamp is currently part of OTC editions.
