Richard Yasmine is a Lebanese interior architect and product designer, who recently pursued a new master’s degree in Art Criticism and Curating. Deeply rooted in Beirut, his hometown serves as both a muse and a mirror for his work, reflecting its vibrant contradictions, emotional layers, and resilient spirit. With a vivid imagination and a poetic lens, Yasminecreates objects that speak of life, memory, desire, and identity.

His creations often navigate the boundaries between the visible and the hidden, the personal and the collective. Through bold yet minimal forms, he explores themes such as human vulnerability, societal taboos, ritual, and the layered cultural complexity of the Levant. A strong affinity for geometric clarity brings rhythm and balance to his pieces, while his storytelling approach infuses them with emotion and thought. His design language blends surrealism with structure, playing between fragility and strength, chaos and order, symbolism and function.

At the heart of his practice lies a deep respect for Lebanese craftsmanship. Yasminecollaborates closely with local artisans, fusing traditional techniques with contemporary design thinking, ensuring that each object carries both heritage and innovation.

More than a designer, Yasmine is a narrator of sensibilities, his work evoking intimacy, provocation, and a quiet kind of rebellion. Uncompromising in his creative vision, Yasminebalances conceptual depth with material elegance, crafting collectible design that is at once personal, political, and poetic, offering a fresh, daring voice in the world of collectible design.

Over the past decade, he has gained international recognition, presenting his collections at leading platforms such as Milan Design Week (a constant presence since 2016), Paris Design Week, Dubai Design Week, and more. His work regularly attracts the attention of curators and leading design publications worldwide, and he has collaborated with renowned international brands while creating special commissions for private collectors and institutions.
