Restaurant Liza opened in Paris on March 2003 serving a “Lebanese
contemporary cuisine” as they labeled it. The client request was to
work on this main concept and to have it adapted to the interior
design, the accessories, the details in the way of serving and further
more in the cooking itself. The decoration was taken care by Hubert
Fattal (a Lebanese interior designer from Beirut), the cuisine by Chef
Karim Haidar and the consulting for the table accessories by the
Chekerdjian’s Studio.
Our task was to design, choose, sample and select all the table
accessories of the restaurant, starting from the tableware, plates,
glasses and finishing with the candle holder, ice bucket and serving
bowls. Some items where designed by the studio especially for the Liza
restaurant-Paris as the Lunch tray, the Tarab’iza bistro table, the
arak glasses, the brass trays, etc. Some other items where selected in
hotel fairs to have “easy to use and wash” accessories. And for the
last group of objects, the selection was made within the range of the
local Lebanese craftsmen collections.
The whole selection, put together, gives the table set up and the food
presentation at the Liza’s a different atmosphere compared to any
traditional Lebanese restaurant.
