In this episode of Global Economic Press, Alex Brady delves into the innovative world of sustainable design, highlighting a groundbreaking collaboration between Rat d’Hôtel, a Beirut-based design house, and Plastc Lab, Lebanon’s pioneering recycling and design hub. The episode explores how Rat d’Hôtel is redefining the future of sustainable design by transforming waste into art. Their latest creation, limited-edition stools made from recycled plastic, showcases the beauty of irregularity and challenges conventional production methods. Each stool is a unique piece of functional sculpture, embodying the philosophy of resisting mass production and embracing the beauty of imperfection.

The launch of these stools will be celebrated with an event on October 9 at Titus in Sursock, where attendees can experience Rat d’Hôtel’s broader world of design, music, and collaboration. The stools will be available for purchase through Rat d’Hôtel's website and select concept stores. This collaboration not only highlights the creative potential of recycled materials but also emphasizes the importance of sustainable practices in design. Rat d’Hôtel and Plastc Lab are leading the way in circular design, transforming discarded plastic into beautiful, functional products and inspiring a new narrative for waste materials.
