Plan Bey Beirut

Art shop

""Plan Bey" is the place to go to buy any kind of art you want. Upcycled, Beirut-inspired designs, beautiful old things... I wish I could buy everything!"

Plan Bey is the place to go to get whatever kind of art you might need for your house. I'm filling my place with a lot of digital posters from there. They're Beirut-inspired designs, some with the word Beirut on them, others with old buildings that have marked the city throughout the years. Beside that, they have got upcycled and recycled stuff like glasses by environmental and industrial engineer Ziad Abi Chaker. I'm now buying everything he has made because they go with everything. You may also find other things like notebooks, jewelry, vases, bowls and old photographs and ad posters from the '50s for celebrities when they had concerts.

I fell in love with the place for all the colors and the beautiful things they were selling, cause everything was environmentally friendly even the bags for your purchases are from paper. We should have more stores like this one. If I could, I'd buy everything from there.
