Etienne Bastormagi maintains a strong dialogue between architecture, interior spaces and design, as a conceptual engine of transition to carry out his projects. These combined disciplines push him towards research, experimentation and performance to explore the intrinsic relationships of Man with space and objects. The Studio’s transversal approach to creative fields allows it to present a rich range of proposals.
Born in Beirut in 1980, Etienne immersed himself in his travels by observing the play of shadows and light while remaining anchored in his oriental roots. After studying architecture and urban planning, he worked with several multinational agencies before opening his studio in 2016.
His analytical approach and his interpretation of material push him to reflect on the imprint, the functionality, and the integration into the environment, by applying an identical process on different scales. Projects of variable dimensions, diverse contexts and implementations, his interventions defend above all sustainability and functionality.
Since 2007, Etienne Bastormagi moved towards teaching architecture and interior design in various academic establishments in Lebanon.
In 2017, he co-founded the BoBa brand of thoughtful minimalist objects. Its furniture and products are centered on adapting to small spaces, and our new ways of life. Blurring the boundaries between design and art, his creations are exhibited in several galleries and international fairs.
Multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary, Etienne explores, researches, innovates and invents a new way of living. This architect with sober lines, but with an extensible imagination tends towards respect for the handmade, and the reading of materials. Creator of emotions, craftsman of spaces, Etienne draws new possibilities for today's world.
