CONTEMPORARY WITH A TWIST OF EGYPTIAN CULTURE RESIDENTIAL PROJECT

1.jpg

No architectural changes were made to the house except for changing the floor into a parquet flooring. The client had just rented the house and was struggling in creating a living/dinning zone that reflected her Egyptian cultural background. The zone was designed with TALATA Designs and a lot of the furniture pieces were taken from the company's furniture collection. 

​

The TV unit was designed specially for the client's space, as there was a random window behind the TV that we decided to hide. The mixture of walnut wood, brass columns and grey lacquered shelves insured that the window is hidden without changing any architectural structure. And gave the total space a sense of uniqueness to it.

The sofa was also customised to fit the client's space with an embedded wooden back table, the mixture of the grey fabric and the walnut wood created harmony and highlighted the wall unit. A lot of the accessorise were added from TALATA Designs collections. And all the art pieces were shipped from Eygpt representing different Egyptian designers. 

​

No curtains were added to the window behind the sofa as the space is facing North and it had a beautiful view to the outdoor pool. A blue love couch was added in the centre as a separator between the two seatings in the living area, The other seating displayed a set of three tables, the rectangular table shows a lotus pattern top from mother of pearl inlay, as the lotus flower is seen repeatedly throughout the Egyptian heritage. The seated is completed with a plant in the corner and contemporary sofa design with two light grey chairs.

The dinning area is located behind the large customised sofa, different hues of brown leather dinning chairs were used, creating an  individual identity to the scene, with two grey velvet dinning chairs to create a nice harmony with the grey customised sofa on the other side of the space. The sheer curtains used show a silk-printed pattern in black and gold for the crown of Hathor; an ancient Egyptian goddess. The same pattern is also found on some of the cushions on the sofa. 

 

The four doors buffet was designed with mother of pearl inlay of geometrical patterns on the side and papyrus pattern in the middle; the papyrus plant is found on the banks of the Nile and throughout the delta, it was a natural symbol of life itself. Those elements in the scene represented the Egyptian culture in a settle contemporary vision.

​

The long bar textured chairs had completed the look, facing the open plan kitchen. creating a proper circulation and a cozy intimate harmonised space.

The Egyptian culture was clearly visible through the different patterns found in the cushions and curtains that symbolised different Gods in Eygpt. The marble suspended lights in the TV unit and the side table lights were shipped from an Egyptian company called Salsabeel Amin. All the displayed paintings are from Egyptian artists located in Cairo. Although this project is a small zone, the details behind it makes it a unique one of a kind space.
