SQUAT Beirut #2013 by Nilufar Gallery in collaboration with Galerie Balice Hertling

November 21 '13 - January '14

Beirut

Nilufar Gallery, in collaboration with Galerie Balice Hertling, presents the 3rd SQUAT Edition in Beirut. SQUAT is an innovative concept that combines design, art and architecture giving life to new original high standard domestic landscapes.

The Metropolitan Art Society, contemporary art gallery located in the magnificent XIX century Bustros Palace, will host this SQUAT edition in a newly renovated setting that mixes different styles: exotic, Ottoman and Florentine.

Nina Yashar, owner of Nilufar Gallery, has found the ideal setting for her nomadic artistic research in a country rich of contraddictions, a unique and original scenario, that offers warm and enchanting atmospheres to a five room exhibition built on architectural and geographical contrasts.

In the exhibition, projects by:

VINTAGE DESIGNERS:

Franco Albini, Michel Boyer, Paul Evans, Piero Fornasetti, Ignazio Gardella, Hans Agne Jacobsen, Grete Jalck, Angelo Mangiarotti, Rupert Nikoll, Gio Ponti, André Renou & Jean-Pierre Génisset, Willy Rizzo

CONTEMPORARY DESIGNERS:

Lindsey Adelman, Caturegli Formica, Karen Chekerdjian, Martino Gamper, Zaha Hadid, Massimiliano Locatelli, Nucleo, Giacomo Ravagli, Piotr Sierakowski, Bethan Laura Wood
