Guillaume Excoffier Mixes Biedermeier and '80s Icons in Beirut Apartment

Interior designer Guillaume Excoffier has completed a residential project in Beirut, Lebanon, where Biedermeier furniture, 1980s design icons, and locally produced pieces are placed in dialogue with the city's layered design history. The apartment, a midcentury modern space, serves as a setting for Excoffier's own art and design collection. Rather than treating antiques as isolated treasures, the scheme positions them alongside twentieth-century and contemporary Lebanese-made objects, creating what the project describes as a spirited conversation across periods and origins. The commission reflects a broader approach to collecting in which historical European furniture and later design classics coexist with regional production. Beirut's complex architectural and design heritage, shaped by multiple eras and influences, provides the context for these juxtapositions. The project was published by Architectural Digest. No further details on the client, the specific works included, the size of the apartment, or the completion date were provided in the source material.
