He studied furniture restoration at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York and then specialized in gilding restoration in Florence at the Palazzo Spinelli institute. He worked at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and with Ralph Lauren Home before starting his own furniture and gilded-object practice in 2002. His limited-edition pieces combine bronze, marble and gold leaf, and he likes to mix materials where you would not expect them, such as a coffee table that sets sculpted brass olive branches under a granite top. Since 2016 he has designed exclusive furniture for Nilufar Gallery. He divides his time between Beirut and Paris.<\/p>\n<h2>Brand Information<\/h2>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Brand Name<\/th>\n<td>Hicham Ghandour<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Based In<\/th>\n<td>Beirut<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Founded<\/th>\n<td>2002<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Founders<\/th>\n<td>Hicham Ghandour<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Products<\/th>\n<td>Limited-edition furniture, coffee and side tables, gilded objects, collectible design pieces<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Where to Buy<\/th>\n<td>Nilufar Gallery; 1stDibs dealer listing<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Description<\/th>\n<td>Beirut-born furniture designer and gilding specialist making limited-edition pieces in bronze, marble and gold leaf.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2>Hicham Ghandour at a glance<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Born in Beirut in 1958, returned to Lebanon in 2011<\/li>\n<li>Trained in gilding restoration in Florence<\/li>\n<li>Worked at the Metropolitan Museum of Art<\/li>\n<li>Designs exclusive furniture for Nilufar Gallery since 2016<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Who is behind Hicham Ghandour<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Hicham Ghandour<\/strong> (Designer).
