.PSLAB collaborated with Tawlet restaurant in Beirut to highlight its dessert and beverage serving section. Tawlet is the latest venture of Souk el Tayeb, a well-known organization that manages markets specializing in fresh, rural produce across Lebanon.

The space, characterized with a high ceiling, necessitated a custom approach. The products .PSLAB inserted are made-up of a grouping of rods shaping a circle and welded to two rings. At the products’ bottom section, each rod points out to form an angle before pointing back towards the fixtures center axis. This angulation provides the products with volume. Each rod is topped with an exposed bulb at its extremity. Together the bulbs shape a circle parallel to the products’ supporting plate.

These fixtures are reflective of the manual and custom manufacturing skills at the .PSLAB workshop and are topped with a black high-end finish to match the feel of the space.
