| About us
In 2007 Rania Abillama Karam gave her career in truck-manufacturing a pause and decided to develop something more personal: putting her favorite things in life together under one roof.
This is how the idea of Over the Counter took shape as a space that hosts a range of design products,from lighting and furniture, to decorative items and kitchen accessories. The selection reflects Over the Counter's unique outlook and discerning eye – a filter of today's intelligent solutions and impeccable craftsmanship.
The 500 sqm 3-level store features a mélange of design schools from the 400-year old Dutch Royal Tichelaar Makkum, to classical Danish designs, to the more contemporary works of Vancouver-based Molo design studio and the avant-garde approach of the British design and manufacturing company Established & Sons. Today the collection is getting stronger and includes beautiful Eileen Grey and Sergio Rodrigues re-editions, limited editons and original designer pieces.
Over the Counter is also keen on contributing to the local design dialogue by regularly hosting creative events in collaboration with leading Lebanese designers and passionate professionals.
