Dark Edge is part of The Edge – Beirut Revisited Collection, an evolution of The Edge – Beirut Collection, which takes a cue from the city of Beirut – a city always on the edge of instability, chaos, creativity and adaptability. It engages the precepts of Middle Eastern geometric patterns and repetition of forms that can be found in Arabic architecture. This versatile geometric piece can be fashioned in more than a dozen shapes, as a table, stool or shelf. Dark Edge is made from glass and steel, with quarter-matt black finishing, it is hand welded and assembled by Lebanese artisans.
