Verso Collection
The VERSO concept is a set of pieces that responds to new lifestyles with both functional and modular design. A link between decoration and function, the collection demonstrates an innovative approach by mixing classical, contemporary and futuristic elements in a timeless aesthetic. Available in 3 seating configurations: slipper chair with dressing table and drawers, slipper chair with bookcase that can be combined with several pieces including; a large bench or pouf with coffee table. A folding screen with shelves called VERSUS, and two pedestal tables called VENUS that complete the concept in a new spirit of contemporary design. All the pieces are made in France in the Pierre Frey workshop in Villers Cotterêts. Designers and craftsmen have managed to highlight particularly meticulous finishes: the solid oak is engraved with fine grooves, luxurious brass knobs underline this sophistication and the mohair velvet "Teddy" elegantly adorns the shape of the seats.

David Raffoul and Nicolas Moussallem met at the Lebanese Academy of Fine Arts where they both studied interior design. Together they furthered their studies at the Scuola Poliltecnica Di Design in Milan before going their separate ways, with David joining the Fabrica research centre in Treviso and Nicolas becoming a freelance designer.In 2011 the duo met again and set up their design studio in Beirut, quickly building their worldwide reputation thanks to their multidisciplinary approach and «retro-futuristic» style. Over the years their creations have been exhibited at the Nilufar Gallery and the Carpenters Workshop Gallery. They have worked in conjunction with major international brands as well as on high-end projects for independent clients. They bring an obsessive attention to the smallest details and cheerfully combine Eastern and Western influences, ancient and contemporary.
