Dear Friends of Beirut Design Week,



In solidarity with the revolution in Lebanon and the economic crisis that has deeply affected businesses throughout the nation, we would like to inform you that this year Beirut Design Week will not take place.



We fully support the members of the creative community in these precarious times and hope that the efforts to re-develop our economy and political system will lead to better living conditions for all of us.



We, the members of MENA Design Research Center and Creative Nine look forward to bringing you another edition of Beirut Design Week once the situation in Lebanon has improved. We remain available for any inquiries and requests, and look forward to re-building our creative economy together for a better future.



Sincerely,

Doreen Toutikian & Rola Ghotmeh
