But what attracted her to it was a woven-leather detail on its back. \u201cIt was kind of intriguing,\u201d she recalls. \u201cI bought it because of that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, when she decided to launch <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/dealers\/mb-design-studios\/shop\/\">her own furniture collection<\/a> last year, it seemed natural to create <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/dealers\/mb-design-studios\/shop\/furniture\/seating\/\">statement seating<\/a> with the focus very much on the back. The result was the Soleia line, whose name is derived from the Latin word <em>sol<\/em>, meaning sun, and which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/seating\/sofas\/modern-wood-back-painted-sofa-new-custom-soleia-sofa-mb-design-studios\/id-f_43054862\/\">includes a sofa<\/a> whose reverse side is adorned with a sunset landscape featuring trees, agave plants, a yellow sea and a pastel-pink sky.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/seating\/sofas\/modern-wood-back-painted-sofa-new-custom-soleia-sofa-mb-design-studios\/id-f_43054862\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"712\" height=\"950\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Modern-Wood-and-Back-Painted-Sofa-New-and-Custom-Soleia-Sofa-by-MB-Design-Studios-712x950.jpg\" alt=\"Detail of the side of the mb design studios Soleia sofa, new\" class=\"wp-image-425917\" style=\"width:675px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Modern-Wood-and-Back-Painted-Sofa-New-and-Custom-Soleia-Sofa-by-MB-Design-Studios-712x950.jpg 712w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Modern-Wood-and-Back-Painted-Sofa-New-and-Custom-Soleia-Sofa-by-MB-Design-Studios-262x350.jpg 262w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Modern-Wood-and-Back-Painted-Sofa-New-and-Custom-Soleia-Sofa-by-MB-Design-Studios-90x120.jpg 90w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Modern-Wood-and-Back-Painted-Sofa-New-and-Custom-Soleia-Sofa-by-MB-Design-Studios-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Modern-Wood-and-Back-Painted-Sofa-New-and-Custom-Soleia-Sofa-by-MB-Design-Studios-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Modern-Wood-and-Back-Painted-Sofa-New-and-Custom-Soleia-Sofa-by-MB-Design-Studios-700x933.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Modern-Wood-and-Back-Painted-Sofa-New-and-Custom-Soleia-Sofa-by-MB-Design-Studios.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 712px) 100vw, 712px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The sides of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/dealers\/mb-design-studios\/shop\/\">mb design studios<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/seating\/sofas\/modern-wood-back-painted-sofa-new-custom-soleia-sofa-mb-design-studios\/id-f_43054862\/\">Soleia sofa<\/a> are made from woven <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/material\/cane\/\">cane<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The image was created by French artist Sophie Monti, who spends part of her time on the Croatian island of \u0160olta, off the coast of Split. It was while on vacation there that Bustros discovered Monti&#8217;s work in a local gallery. \u201cHer style is extremely poetic,\u201d the designer says. \u201cI also find the way she combines colors very interesting.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since founding her Dubai- and Beirut-based firm, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/dealers\/mb-design-studios\/\">mb design studios<\/a>, in 2017, Bustros has worked on projects that include residences in London, Paris and the United Arab Emirates; the redesign of the flagship and reimagining of the store concept for chocolate and patisserie maker Noura; and several boutiques for the caviar brand Prunier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bustros also teamed up with architect Fadlo Dagher to renovate St. Maroun Church in Beirut after it was badly damaged by the August 2020 port blast. \u201cThe priest told me, \u2018Forget everything you know about the way religious spaces are traditionally designed,\u2019 \u201d she recounts. That meant no burgundy tones or long rows of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/seating\/chairs\/\">chairs<\/a>. Instead, she introduced a pale blue as the new interior\u2019s signature color and installed long <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/seating\/benches\/material\/oak\/\">oak benches<\/a> with scalloped bases. The result is both airy and strikingly beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/dealers\/mb-design-studios\/shop\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Modern-Wood-and-Back-Painted-Sofa-New-and-Custom-Soleia-Sofa-by-MB-Design-Studios-in-situ-950x568.jpg\" alt=\"A room featuring Marine Bustro's Soleia sofa and armchair, as well as her Polaris tables\" class=\"wp-image-425920\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Modern-Wood-and-Back-Painted-Sofa-New-and-Custom-Soleia-Sofa-by-MB-Design-Studios-in-situ-950x568.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Modern-Wood-and-Back-Painted-Sofa-New-and-Custom-Soleia-Sofa-by-MB-Design-Studios-in-situ-585x350.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Modern-Wood-and-Back-Painted-Sofa-New-and-Custom-Soleia-Sofa-by-MB-Design-Studios-in-situ-120x72.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Modern-Wood-and-Back-Painted-Sofa-New-and-Custom-Soleia-Sofa-by-MB-Design-Studios-in-situ-768x459.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Modern-Wood-and-Back-Painted-Sofa-New-and-Custom-Soleia-Sofa-by-MB-Design-Studios-in-situ.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/dealers\/mb-design-studios\/\">Marine Bustros<\/a>\u2019s furiture collection includes her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/seating\/sofas\/modern-wood-back-painted-sofa-new-custom-soleia-sofa-mb-design-studios\/id-f_43054862\/\">Soleia sofa<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/seating\/armchairs\/modern-wood-back-painted-armchair-new-custom-soleia-mb-design-studios\/id-f_43055792\/\">armchair<\/a>, as well as her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/dealers\/mb-design-studios\/shop\/furniture\/tables\/\">Polaris tables<\/a> and other designs.

Bustros decided to give the former a slightly elliptical shape to create greater intimacy. \u201cIt\u2019s easier to have a conversation with someone if you\u2019re slightly facing each other,\u201d she explains. She also fitted the arms with panels of woven <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/material\/cane\/\">cane<\/a> (a material often used in traditional Lebanese chairs), elegantly framed by grooves in the wood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To print Monti\u2019s landscape on canvas that could be applied to the back, Bustros called upon Calligraph, a studio in Beirut&#8217;s Verdun district. It was treated to protect it from both water and UV-rays. \u201cThe quality is fantastic,\u201d Bustros says. \u201cMost people actually think it\u2019s a real <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/art\/paintings\/\">painting<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"interstitial-banner interstitial-banner-collection interstitial-container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-content\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-background-image\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Collective-Y-by-Rhea-Younes-Wave-Lounge-Chair-Mystical-1000x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-interstitial size-interstitial\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"container interstitial-text\">\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"interstitial-link-around-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/seating\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-heading\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tShop Seating on 1stDibs\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-subheading\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"gold-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/seating\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span>View All<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Lebanese interior designer Marine Bustros plans a living room, she generally avoids one thing: turning the back of a sofa toward the door. \u201cDesign-wise, it\u2019s often a part that\u2019s neglected,\u201d she says.
