Born in Lebanon, Khaled El Mays received a diploma in architecture from the American University of Beirut and an MFA in digital arts from the Pratt Institute in New York. Somewhere between multiplicity and repetition, his work is a play on the notion of balance. In 2013, the designer designed his first collection "Rhizomes" and founded the Khaled El Mays studio, a multidisciplinary studio focusing on furniture, interior design and graphic design. He is represented, among others, by the Nilufar gallery in Milan. Ethical and sustainable, the manufacturing process is carried out by local craftsmen in the Bekaa Valley in eastern Lebanon. Their noble materials come from the best suppliers on the market. In parallel with the creation, Khaled el Mays gives lectures on design.

The pieces that come out of her studio are generally hand-made and feature luxurious finishes and details. From Paris to Milan, most of the top design venues regularly exhibit the fruit of her work.
