Beirut, Lebanon, Sept. 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Rat d'Hotel, the Beirut-based collaborative design house, unveils its newest creation: limited-edition stools crafted from recycled plastic, developed in partnership with Plastc Lab, Lebanon's pioneering recycling and design hub. Rat d'Hotel Recycled Plastic Stool Each stool transforms discarded plastic into a functional sculpture. With unique textures and patterns, no two are alike, an approach that mirrors Rat d'Hotel's philosophy of resisting mass production and embracing irregularity as beauty. “This stool is more than furniture, it's an act of defiance,” says Anne-Lise Franjou, founder of Rat d'Hotel. “We're taking what is usually considered waste and rewriting its story. Every piece carries the traces of a past life, reborn as design.” The launch will be celebrated with an event on October 9 at Titus in Sursock, where the first edition of the stools will be showcased alongside Rat d'Hotel's wider world of design, music, and collaboration. The Rat d'Hotel stools will be available via ratdhotel.com and select concept stores. About Rat d'Hotel About Plastc Lab Press Contact Rami El Chamaa
