T“he collections by ELIE SAAB Maison reflect the lifestyle imagined by Mr. Saab, who is passionate about interiors and architecture. Inspired by the Art Déco period, they are created alongside renowned Italian architect Carlo Colombo, translating the DNA and stylistic elements of the Lebanese brand ELIE SAAB into a Home line”, says Massimiliano Ferrari, President of ELIE SAAB Maison.
Architect Carlo Colombo, the Creative director, has brilliantly reinterpreted the stylistic elements and DNA of ELIE SAAB, creating products that perfectly align the brand’s vision, and are instantly recognisable as ELIE SAAB products, with a wonderfully distinctive look that clearly highlights the designer’s unique signature. Produced in close collaboration with Elie Saab, the objects embrace all areas of the home, from living to dining rooms, bedrooms, kitchens and outdoor. The ELIE SAAB Maison collections, inspired by the design and architecture of the 1960s and 70s, the Art Déco period, the perfumes and colours of the Middle East and Parisian architecture, representing ELIE SAAB’s roots, can be produced to measure in line with the wishes of the brand’s ultra-luxury clients, providing a functional, aesthetic expression of their tastes and requirements.
A timeless collection to which new pieces are added every year, the result of careful, extensive research into finishes and materials. The pinnacle of the collection is a series of collectible Art Design pieces and a limited editions, including the L’Infini armchair introduced two years ago, an ideal blend of technology and artisanal skills in line with the traditions of Made in Italy manufacture, and the Lobster armchair, the highlight from the Nights of Wonder collection presented at the latest Milano Design Week.

Upholstered with luxurious fabrics that evoke the colours of the Arabian desert, the Lobster armchair demonstrates ELIE SAAB Maison’s commitment to artisanal production and outstanding design. Underpinned by a desire to create a high-quality artisanal network and demonstrate the brand’s commitment to creating exclusive luxury products for a demanding, sophisticated clientele, the ELIE SAAB Maison accessory line is enhanced by gift articles and games sets, created together with Giobagnara, one of Italy’s greatest experts in the sector.
