Living Rooms

Living Rooms celebrates the central role of family life and hospitality across the Middle East and North Africa, focusing on the communal spaces where connections are made, traditions upheld, and stories shared. Through a curated collection of archival and contemporary photography, the book explores the rich interplay of design, culture, and identity reflected in these spaces. From intricate textiles and low seating arrangements to gold accents and elaborate décor, these rooms embody the pride and character of the families who inhabit them.Photographers:Abbas, Lynsey Addario, Ali Al Shebabi, Olivia Arthur, Bruno Barbey, Hasan Belal, Ian Berry, Olgac Bozalp, Lara Chahine, Sabiha Cimen, Thomas Dworzak, Nikos Economopoulos, Rena Effendi, Mariam el Gendy, Narim El Mofiy,Hossein Fatemi, John Frumm, Jean Gaumy, Harry Gruyaert,Rita Kabalan, Sakir Khader, Ton Koene, Andrew McConnell, Alexandre Morin Laprise, James Morris, Morteza Nikoubazl,Emn Ozmen, Paolo Pellegrin, Ségolène Ragu, Espen Ramussen, Bertrand Rieger, Aly Saab, Ariana Saigh, Shayan Sajadian, Moises Saman, Ferdinando Scianna, Miriam Stanke, Brent Stirton,Iva Zimova; unknown authors
