London-based Lou Fayo doesn’t just paint flowers—he orchestrates them into something beyond the ordinary, beyond the expected. These aren’t delicate arrangements fading quietly into the background; they demand attention, commanding the space with a presence that is ethereal yet unapologetically bold. This debut series of oil paintings—hyperreal yet dreamlike—feels as though nature itself has been sculpted into permanence.

Beirut, a city long known for its layered elegance and electric contrasts, just got a little louder—visually and culturally.

Designed by Atelier130 with creative direction by Mo Al Ghossein, Father & Bun is a lesson in mood setting.

Step inside and you’re immediately enveloped in a dimly lit sanctuary of sound.
