He came back to Beirut in 2016 to start his own studio. His time in Japan shows in his furniture, which uses the logic of Japanese joinery while being made in Beirut. For Adorno&#x27;s 2018 Beirut Collection he designed tables built from slabs of marble in several colors. Later work includes the Al\u00efa stool, in oak and lacquer, shown in the design exhibition at Beirut Art Center. For buyers, his work is a chance to own furniture designed and made in Beirut by a designer trained in both London and Kyoto.<\/p>\n<h2>Brand Information<\/h2>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Brand Name<\/th>\n<td>Thomas Trad<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Based In<\/th>\n<td>Beirut<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Founded<\/th>\n<td>2016<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Founders<\/th>\n<td>Thomas Trad<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Products<\/th>\n<td>Marble tables, stools, wooden furniture, lacquered pieces<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Description<\/th>\n<td>Beirut product designer making marble tables and lacquered oak stools shaped by Japanese joinery training.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2>Thomas Trad at a glance<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Trained at Central Saint Martins and a Kyoto craft school<\/li>\n<li>Worked with Fredrikson Stallard and Michael Anastassiades<\/li>\n<li>Founded his Beirut studio in 2016<\/li>\n<li>Marble tables shown in Adorno&#x27;s 2018 Beirut Collection<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Who is behind Thomas Trad<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Thomas Trad<\/strong> (Founder and designer).
