Between the landscapes of Lebanon and the timeless atmosphere of Venice, Tessa El Sakhi El Maalouli creates spaces where memory, nature and emotion meet. Born in the Land of Cedars and shaped by a Lebanese and Polish-Syrian heritage, her work explores how cultural roots can continue to evolve through contemporary design.

For Tessa, a space is not simply something to look at — it is something to experience. Through the dialogue between light, natural materials and organic forms, she creates interiors that invite stillness, connection and a deeper awareness of the environments around us.

Her approach is guided by three elements: Human, Earth and Legacy. Each project reflects a balance between well-being, respect for the natural world and the preservation of knowledge passed through generations, while embracing a refined and modern expression.

From Beirut to international exhibitions, her work brings together different geographies and perspectives, creating spaces that feel both rooted and open. Beyond design, Tessa’s practice extends into social initiatives supporting education, reforestation and community rebuilding.

Part of our curated selection, Tessa El Sakhi El Maalouli represents a vision of design as a living experience — where spaces become vessels for emotion, culture and a renewed relationship with the world around us.
