Nayef Francis
Follow ArtistNayef Francis graduated with a degree in Interior Architecture from Lebanon. He worked across the MENA region honing his skills as an architect.
Upon his return to Lebanon, It was his unwavering passion to create simple and purposeful designs that drove him to establish his own design practice.
His design response is intelligent in its function, innovative in its fabrication, spatial dynamics, and materials, and playfully romantic in its appeal.
His contextual yet unexpected designs stood out in Wallpaper Magazine, Monocle, Architectural Digest, and others, as well as showcased in London, Beirut, and Dubai Design Weeks, and sold in galleries from Dubai to LA.
He continues to experiment and innovate with craft and creation to accentuate living spaces and create more room for life.
Nayef Francis Design Studio’s products combine a hint of Middle Eastern aesthetic with minimal and functional design.
The studio specializes in interiors, furniture, and lighting, exclusively hand-made in Lebanon, collaborating with Lebanese suppliers using local materials whenever possible, in order to promote and support Lebanese trade and economy, and for quality control and aesthetics.
His work spans different spaces across hotels, homes, restaurants, and high-end boutiques yet converge into one unapologetically simple and utilitarian aesthetic.
Through the balance of simplicity and design complexity, the designs are ergonomic, practical, and accessible by intelligently reaching new frontiers of fabrication to furthermore harmonize the modern-day industrial object.
