MGGANNON SAAD Sas was founded in 2022 by Jules McGannon and Nour Abi Saad.
Following many years of experience in Milan where they grasped the Italian Design culture and refined their eye for aesthetics, they moved to the French Riviera working together as digital nomads, open to collaborate on projects all around the planet.
Their approach is based on research, design thinking, ecology, art, attention to context and detail.
Their philosophy embraces diversity, cultural mixity, elegance, balance and proportion, contamination, and a never-ending search for the abstract concept of beauty.
They operate in the fields of interior design, industrial product design, retail, hospitality, residences, graphics, and temporary installations.
The studio is fluent in French, English, Italian, Lebanese, and Arabic.
