the polished elegance of Lebanon's most exclusive and select residences.
Their doors have been opened wide for the first time ever, so

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”.
