paperplanes
Co-founded a design studio exploring the boundaries between art and design specializing in product and environmental design. Our passion for creating different kinds of stories has brought to life many ideas thrown at us that we didn’t imagine we could realize.

First things first, what is paperplanes?
Our style
How we look
What we created
Larger than life tactile murals
We draw imaginative creatures and bring them to life in great detail and vibrant hues. Using carefully selected fabrics and wood, we transform space into a uniquely handcrafted captivating kingdom of adventure.
Concept, design, artwork, production, and installation.
Material: wood and fabric
A howling wolf, a tree bigger than life, a curious bear, a dreamy fox, dreaming of feathers of all sorts and colors.
A magnificent tree is playground to a cluster of clowning monkeys… OH look there! One has stolen Baby’s sock!
Products
Explored different material to build commemorative products. We handled quantities from 10 to 200. Figured out ways for the products to be interactive and tell their stories. Some prototypes failed miserably and we quickly had to shift approach to have a finished and packed products.
Some of the material we worked with: wood, fabric, metal, glass, marble, plexiglass, and much more!
This trophy for Animals Lebanon (Lebanon’s largest animal charity) recognizing donors at the yearly gala event.
The trophies tell the story of one of the biggest donors and supporters of Animals Lebanon. He lives with his two black labradors lives in the busy Beirut city where cats roam the streets taunting the birds.
