Carwan Gallery's new permanent space on the ground floor of the city's landmark Gefinor Centre

俗话说，家是你挂帽子的地方。经过三年的临时展览来设计世界各地的博览会和博物馆后，开创性的Carwan画廊在其家乡贝鲁特开设了一个永久的空间。坐落在城市地标盖菲诺中心(Gefinor Centre)底层的一个高耸的工业空间里，这个砖块和灰泥的位置使得它的限量版收藏(通常是将国际设计人才和中东工匠结合在一起)可以在一个地方一起观看。

在迈克尔·阿纳斯塔西季斯、菲利普·马鲁因、凯伦·谢克德健、米舍尔工作室的拖网舰和林赛·阿德尔曼的设计下，画廊与法国设计师印度·马赫达维合作，开启了永久空间的序幕。“景观”系列是今年6月在迈阿密/巴塞尔设计展首次亮相时推出的，由Mahdavi和Iznik基金会生产的桌子和花瓶组成，后者的工作室设在土耳其的布尔萨。

然而，拥有永久的空间似乎并没有压制画廊的勤奋精神。八件藏品中的每一件物品都重新想象了一种传统的工艺或技术。

Fabrica的设计部主任SamBaron说：“我们的想法(这个项目)是因为大卫·拉福尔的出现，他是一名年轻的黎巴嫩设计师。”他总是表达他的国家的伟大之处，所以我要求他在那里组织一个项目，让我们去发现他的土地。

这个集体深入黎巴嫩人民的生活，创造了这些碎片。“我们不想做太多陈词滥调的推荐信，这会让这个项目像张明信片一样。”

甚至还有一段是向停电致敬的。“

The space is a centre for collaboration, where visitors can explore the relationships designers have with Middle Eastern and more local Lebanese artisans

To coincide with the inauguration of the new space, Carwan Gallery has also teamed up with Italian design collective Fabrica to present 'The Secret Collection', a series of limited edition objects, at the National Museum of Beirut until 10 January. Each of the eight works, including this 'Totem' series, is inspired by the designers' observations of life in Lebanon

Totem comprises a collection of containers that, when stacked, represent the several reconstructions of Beirut. Executed by Spock Design, Totem combines leather, wood and brass to express the city's complexity by overlapping different layers

The 'Black-Out' lanterns, developed by Maison Tarazi, pay homage to the city's frequent black-outs

The portable torches reinterpret traditional lanterns

Maison Tarazi also developed 'Yalla', a series of wall plates that highlights the importance of dining in Lebanese culture. The dual-use objects are made from traditional copper with engraved surfaces

When removed from the wall, Yalla reveals its engraved pattern and its alternative use as a dining plate

Donna, a self-standing mirror developed by Spock Design, represents the celebration of women in Lebanese society

'The Servant' console forces its user to take notice of the engraved detail by zooming in on a small section

The 'Trace' coat hanger uses rough stone and brass to show the historical and architectural contrasts of Beirut
