Wara’ sar el Lebnene) is the deck of( ”ورق صار اللبناني“ cards born from the reality of everyday life. Having all the features of the Lebanese currency, this “wara’” (deck of cards) aims mainly to preserve the beauty, the value and the finesse of our pounds, repelling all sorts of hatred and despisal. It focuses on creating a new perspective that opens up a new world lost between the patterns, the calligraphy and the details each and every paper money has. “Wara’ sar el Lebnene” is just a simple way of pushing us forward into restoring the formal glory of our beloved Lira.
The main mission and vision behind the whole project are the promotion of Lebanese designer’s creativity and the support of the local economy, by publishing a new version reflecting the Lebanese identity on a set of cards that has infinite ways to create games known everywhere on the planet, and meant to be distributed in Casinos mainly (a place where money is the only game).
