House of Today

House of Today is a not-for-profit organization based in Beirut. Established in 2012 by Cherine Magrabi-Tayeb, it works in support of Lebanon's design culture.
House of Today has showcased Lebanese design internationally - from Dubai Design Week to Design Miami - and uses its platform to fund scholarships for promising young Lebanese designers.
In 2020, following the Beirut port explosions, House of Today established a Beirut Blast Grant Program to deliver immediate support to the city’s designers.

The next edition of the biennale will take place in December 2020.
