Fragmenta N°1

Stone

A design project by Nour Najem and Guilaine Elias

Curated by Gregory Gatserelia

Launched September 2025, Beirut, Lebanon

Stone was the inaugural edition of Fragmenta. Using discarded marble as its starting point, it established the platform’s approach: beginning with a single material system and unfolding it through research, collaboration, and exhibition.

Presented in Beirut in 2025, Stone brought together 51 designers to transform offcuts, broken slabs, and forgotten samples into collectible works that explored permanence, memory and material value.
