Kamelizer II

Kamelizer

Four years after completing the original Kamelizer, I got a call from Hanan Meguid to design their new office space, literally next door to the first one. I was briefed that the Kamelizer II aimed to appeal to a younger audience, that it needed quiet areas such as meeting rooms and training spaces, and that it would be working with a smaller budget.

Cook’s Club Hotel

When I was offered the chance to redesign the new Casa Cook hotel, formerly Arena Inn, I was initially apprehensive. But once I saw the concept I immediately signed on.

Captain’s Inn

When I first started my career in interiors and furniture, my dream was to design a boutique hotel. A dozen years later, I finally got the chance when I was hired to redesign El Gouna’s Captain’s Inn.

The Almaza House

Set on the idyllic North Coast of Egypt, Omar and Naila wanted something minimal and paid homage to Naila’s grandmother’s summer house in Agami, which was inspired by Hassan Fathy. 

Dena’s Flat

Dena1

With a love of Boho, mid-century, Islamic and African designs, combined with a passion for art and graphic design, Dena’s home needed to showcase all aspects of her dynamic personality. Though allowing each element to shine in its own right was important, I also wanted the space to be minimal and calming.  

The Doodle Bar

Doodle Bar

By merging two of my client’s key characteristics – her love of doodling and the delight she takes in entertaining guests – I was able to determine my launch pad for this design.

Cairo Kitchen Tables

I designed these tables for Cairo Kitchen and my inspiration for this project came from Cairo's street cafés. Taking my lead from the typical 'tarabezet el qahwa' (coffee table), I wanted to pay homage to the settings we often see around the city's streets.

Dena’s Bathroom Storage Unit

For this bathroom my client mentioned that she wanted to play around with water friendly woods. Having a lot of products, towels and other accessories I knew we needed something with a lot of space to store everything.

Cairo Kitchen Buffet

Designed for Cairo Kitchen, the establishment wanted a station for the servers to store cutlery, condiments and napkins. Wanting to adhere to the retro style of the space, I aimed to design a piece that was old school and would add some soul to the set up.

Salvaged Bed

Dena3

Custom designed for a residence I was working on, this bed was to take mid-century sensibility and infuse it with locally salvaged wood, which in this case was a genuine Egyptian mashrabia.

Clumsy Bedside

When a clumsy couple asked me to create a piece of furniture that represented my vision of Egypt’s future, the first thing I did was ask my client what the requirements were and what was otherwise lacking in their home.

Salvaged Sofa

Found on the balcony of Dena’s flat, I took advantage of the limited outdoor space by designing a built in sofa. I salvaged a corniche that was found at the local Ezbet Belal market for this piece.

The Bespoke furniture of the CSO was designed to balance out the dramatic effect of the exposed walls and to introduce a Nordic quality.

Mabruka – Christmas Collection

mabruja-xmas-slider

For Mabruka’s first Christmas collection I decided to create Egyptian inspired tree ornaments.  Using Finnish plywood and gold and silver colored plexi, I was excited to create two collections in each of these materials.

Mabruka

mabruka-ramadan

Mabruka is a decoration and accessory line aimed at all occasions celebrated in the Arab world. Created alongside architect and interior designer, Nermine Mokhtar and Laila Neamatalla of Nakhla and Siwa Creations, we realized one Ramadan that we all had the same idea of producing modern, high-end Ramadan accessories for residential and commercial use.
