Our Story

From our Beirut Atelier to you, Zenobie draws inspiration from the stories, legends, warmth and joie de vivre of the Mediterranean people.

Zenobie is a lifestyle, homeware and stationery product design brand that combines aesthetics and practicality. It is made for the young at heart, modern hedonists and people who love to enjoy their daily activities and objects that surrounds them.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Zenobie aims to bring joy, creativity, playfulness and colors to your everyday life. We seek to surround ourselves with nice, delicate and handmade objects for daily small joys.

OUR METHODS

Zenobie’s products are all designed and manufactured in Lebanon. The Zenobie team works with local artisans, NGOs and craft ateliers, based in the four corners of the country. Our artisans have acquired skills and traditions brought down to them by their ancestors. We begin with hand drawn illustrations, and end up applying our visual to our products in different semi-industrial technics.

OUR FOUNDER

ZENOBIE was born from my love of mystical stories, the legends of the Mediterranean coast, and the timeless beauty of patterns. I would spend hours drawing, imagining shapes, colors, and forms, translating them into watercolor on paper. Growing up in Beirut, a multicultural and mesmerizing city, I learned to thrive between the richness of our heritage and the uncertainties of this part of the world. Remaining rooted here, creating with and for my community, brings me infinite joy and gives Zenobie its deepest purpose and meaning.

Zenobie aims to bring joy, creativity, playfulness
and colors to your everyday life. We invite you to join our community of happy customers who share their love of nice designs and stories.
