Founded in September 2020, Lebanese startup Coqlico reinvents the iconic “finjan chaffeh,” blending tradition with modern craftsmanship. A portion of sales is donated to Bassma NGO to support war-affected victims.
Lebanese startup Coqlico was born from a clear mission: to preserve and promote the rich cultural heritage of the Orient by modernizing traditional designs. Its flagship product, the finjan chaffeh, has been reimagined with new proportions and functions, creating artisanal pieces that celebrate craftsmanship while evoking a sense of nostalgia and emotional connection to Lebanese heritage.
Founded in Beirut in September 2020, the brand's name comes from the French word "coquelicot," meaning poppy, a flower often associated with rebirth and hope. This symbolism aligns with Coqlico’s mission to breathe new life into cultural heritage through modern design.
Amid the challenging circumstances Lebanon is currently enduring, especially due to the ongoing conflict, Coqlico is committed to supporting the community. The brand has pledged to donate a portion of its proceeds to Bassma, an NGO providing food and essential supplies to those most affected by the war. This initiative reflects Coqlico's dedication to preserve cultural heritage and actively contribute to the well-being of Lebanese society.
Coqlico stands out by merging centuries-old craftsmanship with contemporary design aesthetics. Its creations, ranging from home décor to unique gift items, embody elegance and innovation, celebrating the beauty of Lebanese and Oriental heritage while catering to modern tastes and the global Lebanese diaspora. “Coqlico is more than just a brand. It’s a tribute to our culture and heritage. By blending traditional artistry with modern design, we aim to offer a unique experience that connects people to Lebanon’s rich history while supporting local craftsmen and the economy,” explains Coqlico’s founder.
In addition to the carefully crafted finjan chaffeh, Coqlico prioritizes the overall customer experience. The brand’s packaging is designed to provide a unique unboxing experience, with highly secure boxes ensuring safe international shipping via DHL Express. Its fully integrated online shop guarantees a smooth purchasing process, making Coqlico’s products accessible worldwide.
Since its inception, Coqlico has showcased its products at prestigious international events, including the Lebanese Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai, and has been featured in well-known retail spaces and in concept stores.
With its signature motto: “From Lebanon to the World”, Coqlico continues to craft timeless pieces that embody hope, love, and connection, offering a curated experience for Lebanese people worldwide.
