Event and seasonal greenery spends most of its life in storage, not on display — which is where its lifespan is actually decided. A practical guide to packing, storing and bringing back artificial trees, garlands and green wall panels in Lebanese conditions.

Restaurants, hotels and lounges judge greenery every single evening. Five things that work taught our Jdeideh workshop about how to build pieces that survive a working venue.

Everything decorative has to arrive, go up, survive a full room of guests and come down again inside a window nobody will extend. That constraint, more than taste or budget, decides what works at an event venue.

Look up in almost any room you have worked hard on, and there is nothing there. In a tight space the ceiling is often the only surface left — and greenery is one of the few materials that can use it without making the room feel lower.

Wind is what takes outdoor artificial greenery out, and almost always because of the planter, the canopy shape or the position — not the gust. How we design against it.

Most people cannot say why the greenery in one room stays with them and the greenery in another disappears. It is rarely the quality of the piece. It is a short list of decisions taken in the room, with a tape measure, before anything is built.

Greenery in a shop has one job and one rule. The job is to pull a passing eye in from the walkway. The rule is that it must never stand between that eye and the product.

Two and a half metres sounds like a decision until you stand in the room with a tape measure. Here is how a made-to-measure tree is sized to a specific corner: floor-to-ceiling height, free width, where the planter steals height, and why a 2.2 m tree for a hallway is a different object from a 2.2 m tree for a lobby.
