When Karim Haidar told us he wants to open a new place in Paris, a place that would remind him of Beirut, especially now with the world turning upside down, a place where people can meet, a place for food and books and dreams, we immediately suggested calling it “Les Mots et le Ciel” (Les Mots et le Ciel / The Words and the Sky), to remind us all that’s what connects everyone, words and sky, between Paris and Beirut, between Fairuz and Marcel Proust.

So, here is our new branding design that we created for our dear friend, and when you’re in Paris be sure to drop by, go see Karim, who blazes like that between people and stories, have a bite, hear a tale.

In the end, he always talks about love. We met by hummus, and are united by love.
