François W. Beydoun
Designer. Author. Founder of CHANYA.
Born in Beirut, based in Bordeaux, I trained as an industrial designer before shifting my practice toward eco-design, permaculture, and regenerative living.
CHANYA is the result of that evolution: a French Tech–labelled engineering and design studio dedicated to next-generation sustainable housing, founded in Bordeaux with the support of Bpifrance.
