NEW EGYPTIAN
DESIGN START UP 2020Egypt’s resources are inherently tied to it history, its handcrafts have been passed down from generation and its materials tell of our history. Many of our traditional crafts, which take years to learn and perfect, are exploited to create cheap touristic products that have no cultural value. This has devalued our heritage.
New Egyptian is a start up design studio aimed at uncovering these lost stories of craft and material. We work closely with craftsmen to develop products that reflect a modern interpretation of Egyptian culture. Our fIrst material exploration was in Luxor with the local craftsmen of ‘marmar’ or soft alabaster to create lighting units and candelabras.
