The 2019 Selection Committee

The policy that has been Beirut Design Fair’s since the beginning, consisting of raising the level of quality in the Fair, year after year, pays dividends: the level of the 3^rd edition of BDF (2019) has been perceived as significantly higher, as per the objectives of the Selection Committee and the organizers.

This ambition is underscored by the importance of the Selection Committee, which brought together in 2019 three major experts playing a leading role on the international design scene. They come from Lebanon, USA, France, and hold mankind in the core of their endeavours. We are pleased and honored that Rebecca Anne Proctor, Nadia Jabri and François Leblanc Di Cicilia have agreed to contribute so much to the quality of this event, and we confidently entrust them with the keys to your «rendez-vous».

The selection committee for Beirut Design Fair reflects the event’s position as a platform for fostering encounters and showcasing talent: one where rigor meets generosity, where diversity is celebrated in a cosmopolitan atmosphere, and where the promotion of creativity is rooted in an economic and cultural context.

This interaction is essential to maintain the primary orientation of Beirut Design Fair: to become the design showcase of the East Mediterranean, where all collaborations are made possible beyond frontiers.
