Some workshops shape you before you even know what you want to do with your life.
I grew up in a workshop. Not metaphorically — literally. My father’s studio, Antoine Georges Yazbeck, occupied 800 square metres in Deir el-Qamar, Lebanon. That is where he had founded Point d’Art in 1990: a practice where construction drawings lived alongside cabinetmakers, where stained glass, mosaic, and handcrafted works came from the hands of our own artisans.
From the age of 14, I spent my afternoons in that workshop. Not out of obligation — out of fascination. I watched my father draw, touched the materials, observed how an idea on paper became a liveable space. That is where the passion took hold, long before any formal study.
After a Master’s in Interior Architecture with jury honours — top of class — I took over the family practice and led residential and commercial projects across Lebanon and the wider Middle East. Years of learning that the most demanding client is also the best teacher.
“A well-designed space is not one you notice. It is one you never want to leave.”
In 2022, I made a decision that was anything but simple: to leave an established practice, a loyal clientele, a country I know in its finest details — to join my family in Paris and begin a new chapter. That personal choice became a professional one: to found Point d’Art France, and bring to this market a culture of the complete project that took me twenty years to build.
I am not a 3D rendering service. I am an interior architect who thinks about joinery at the same time as the floor plan, who selects the marble before drawing the detail, who stays on site until the last piece is in place. Residential, hospitality, offices, retail — the project type changes. The standard, never.
The Legacy
Point d’Art was founded in 1990 by Antoine Georges Yazbeck in Deir el-Qamar, Lebanon. More than a studio — a full creative house integrating design, an in-house joinery workshop, and an artisan atelier. Stained glass, mosaic, painting, cabinetmaking: everything conceived and made under one roof. That culture of fabrication still informs every design decision today.
Today
Based in Île-de-France, I work on projects in Paris and the surrounding region, while continuing to support clients in Lebanon and across the Middle East. The distance does not change the commitment — it simply changes the logistics.
My Paris presence is recent. My experience on projects is not.

What drew me to this profession was not a taste for decoration. It was a conviction built since childhood: the spaces in which we live and work profoundly shape the way we think, feel, and create. To design a space well is to offer someone a better version of their daily life.
