The “Breek”, designed for the Sursock Museum Store, derives from its ancestral Phoenician shape and brings together two of Lebanon’s traditional craftsmanship techniques; glass blowing and stone carving.
The carefully hand blown borosilicate glass piece sits on a carved Marble or Terrazzo base.The carafe is connected to its cooler via a laser cut, hand polished stainless steel ring, insuring no rusting or any wet slips.
The union of these materials, the frail, the firm and the strong, is a tribute to our history from which the present rises.
The “Breek” is an albi creation; a collaborative design platform bringing together four architects that searches for the alliance of past and future, Craftsmanship and Technology.
albi’s locally hand crafted and produced conceptions aspire to deliver functional, innovative and accessible design, while hoping to bring a sense of pleasure and simplicity into your everyday life.
albi is also a play on words, for when pronounced it translates to the Arabic word meaning “my heart”.
Because Home is where the Heart is.
