From the old cradles of civilization, science and arts, to the future-forward cities of tomorrow, the Middle East has always given us wonder, inspiration and exceptional stories. The abundance of history and culture does, without a doubt, feed the creative minds and fuel them with experiences and context that is hard to find elsewhere on the planet. These rich, complex influences are evident in the work of our pick of 5 inspiring and very inspired local designers to keep on your radar (and in your jewelry box):
Atelier Liya
Founded by: Lana Nassar
Location: Lebanon
Lana watched her grandmother collect timeless jewelry and unconsciously began to create a connection to the art. Seeing these pieces become family heirlooms, passed down generations, she began to understand how each gem can grow to become a connection, a reminder, and a story. Through her love of beautiful things, and poetry, LÏya was born.
