Inside new store Images D’Orient in Beirut, designed by Rabih Geha Architects (RG/A)

Images D’Orient presents a contemporary take on Mediterranean form and pattern, that, when applied to coasters and trivets, tableware and tray tables, has earned it a spot in design stores and museums in over 50 countries. For its first bricks-and-mortar store, the brand has returned to its roots, choosing a spot on Rue du Liban in the historic neighbourhood of Achrafieh in Beirut, where it first began almost 20 years ago.

D‘Orient图片展示了现代地中海的形式和模式，当应用于云霄飞车和小吃、餐具和托盘桌时，它在50多个国家的设计商店和博物馆中赢得了一席之地。作为它的第一家实体店，这个品牌已经回归了它的根基，在贝鲁特历史悠久的Achrafieh街区的Liban街选择了一个地点，这是它20年前第一次开始的地方。

Founding brother-and-sister duo Peggy Raphaël Dabar and Charbel Raphaël selected Beirut-based Rabih Geha Architects (RG/A) to design the flagship, which like their brand, evokes a sense of the Mediterranean with a twist, taking traditional archetypes and applying them with fresh eyes.

创始兄妹二人佩吉·拉斐尔·达巴尔和夏贝尔·拉斐尔选择了总部位于贝鲁特的拉比·盖哈建筑师(RG/A)来设计这款旗舰，这款旗舰就像他们的品牌，让人联想到地中海的气息，采用传统的原型，用新鲜的眼睛加以运用。

A tryptic of glass arches cut through the deep-blue facade frame a showroom bound by a colonnade of crisp white and blue display niches, and paved in grey terrazzo – a ‘lost in translation approach’ to traditional reference points.

玻璃拱门的胰蛋白酶通过深蓝的立面框架切割，展示了一个由清晰的白色和蓝色展示壁龛的Colonnade所束缚的陈列室，并铺在灰色的水磨石中，在传统的参考点上“失去了翻译方法”。

‘The creative process of crafting a space that houses traditional/oriental products was inspired by the brand’s ethos and is somewhat a metaphor representing the complexity of the city of Beirut, reflecting the mix between the oriental traditions and occidental influences,’ says managing partner Ghida Geha and Rabih Geha, who founded his eponymous practice in 2006.

管理合伙人吉达·盖哈(Ghida Geha)和拉比·盖哈(Rabih Geha)在2006年创立了自己的同名公司，他说，打造一个容纳传统/东方产品的空间的创意过程受到了该品牌精神的启发，它在某种程度上代表了贝鲁特城市的复杂性，反映了东西方传统和西方影响之间的融合。

Block colours and textures, and repeated forms and details help to lend a uniform appearance to the store while also offering a suitable backdrop for the brand’s maximalist designs. The vibrancy of a blood-red ceiling with gridded lights emphasises the low height of the space, bringing the eye down to rest on an oblong display island with chunky cylindrical legs. An undulating screen of white perforated-steel mesh drawn across the rear of the space veils a workshop behind the shop floor, while the terrazzo flooring extends up onto the point of sale. In front of this, Images D’Orient’s richly patterned pieces are displayed on brushed stainless-steel like precious jewels. §

块颜色和纹理，以及重复的形式和细节有助于为商店提供一个统一的外观，同时也为品牌的最大设计提供了一个合适的背景。 充满活力的血红色天花板与网格灯强调了低高度的空间，使眼睛下降休息在一个长方形的显示岛与粗壮的圆柱形腿。 一个起伏的白色穿孔钢网屏幕画在后面的空间面纱后面的车间地板，而水磨石地板延伸到销售点。 在这之前，图像 D东方丰富的图案作品显示在刷过的不锈钢，就像珍贵的珠宝。 § .
