The designers  first tried upcycling when they were invited by gallery owner Rania Choueiri to take part in a recycled art and design exhibition  at L’Atelier Fanfreluche in Beirut’s Mar Mikhail neighbourhood. The exhibit, “Trashy Treasures,” featured furniture, accessories, sculpture, and art works by 18 different artists.
