Born in Lebanon, Aline Asmar d'Amman is the architect, interior designer and founder behind Culture in

Architecture, a design studio based in Beirut and in Paris, committed to bridging cultures while balancing

the past and the present. Approaching each project with an evocative and narrative force, Aline Asmar

d'Amman constructs an intricate dialogue between the raw and the precious, heritage and

modernity, poetry and materiality.

The international firm has been at the helm of several iconic interior projects, including the re-opening

of the Hôtel de Crillon in Paris and the renovation of the Eiffel Tower's gastronomic restaurant Le Jules

Verne, while overseeing the renovation of Palazzo Dona Giovannelli, one of Venice’s historical jewels,

home to the future Orient-Express Hotel.

The architect collaborated with design legend Karl Lagerfeld on the Hôtel de Crillon Les Grands

Appartements and developed his collection of functional sculptures, Architectures, showcased at the

Carpenters Workshop Gallery. More recently, Aline Asmar d’Amman unveiled a series of unique works,

The Memory of Stones, a play on salvaged raw stones and graftings. In 2022, she designed the

architectural scenography of the Lebanese Pavilion at the Venice Art Biennale and launched her

eponymous furniture collection, including the iconic 'Georgia' conversation salon.

Aline Asmar d’Amman is the guest of honor of ´Design Parade Toulon’ 2023, and the jury president of

the 7th edition of the international interior design organized by Villa Noailles, the illustrious French

cultural institution in Hyères, south of France.

Pursuing cross disciplinary work ranging from interior architecture to art direction and scenography for

private and public projects around the world, Aline Asmar d’Amman’s contemporary approach is

nurtured by a dedication to savoir-faire and fostering cultural conversations.
