Nada Debs is a Lebanese-Japanese designer renowned for her distinctive approach that blends traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design. Born in Beirut and raised in Japan, she draws on this dual cultural heritage to create a minimalist aesthetic imbued with Eastern warmth. Her work, which she describes as “craft-meets-modern,” explores Middle Eastern artisanal techniques, marquetry, woodworking, metalwork, and stonework, which she reinvents with clean lines and a global sensibility. 


Having become a leading figure in contemporary design, Nada Debs celebrates through each creation the dialogue between heritage, emotion, and modernity, and for Maison Baccarat, she reinterprets a flagship 19th-century piece: the tantalus. 

The collaboration between Nada Debs and Baccarat offers a contemporary reinterpretation of the Tantalus, the Victorian object designed to secure and display spirits. By combining Baccarat’s expertise with her design approach rooted in emotion and craftsmanship, Nada Debs reimagines the piece with a fresh elegance.

This collaboration highlights the shared strengths of both worlds: respect for heritage, mastery of artisanal techniques, and the desire to express these skills in a distinctly contemporary language. By revisiting the Tantalus, Nada Debs and Baccarat create a piece that transcends time, celebrating both tradition and innovation.
