Craft and materials.
We hold an unfashionable belief — a room needs fewer, better things. So we make our pieces the slow way: poured resin, shaped wood, stitched leather. One work at a time, made not to fill a room but to define it.
How a piece is made
The method is the same for every piece, and each stage is unhurried. Each work is cast, shaped and finished by hand in our own workshop — no two pours move the same way.
- Choose and rest the wood. We begin with rare woods bought as whole flitches — burled walnut, ziricote, macassar ebony, olive — and rest them in the store for years, not days, until they are stable.
- Wall it into a mould. When a piece is chosen, the wood is flattened, sealed and walled into a mould ready for the pour.
- Tint and pour in one degassed session. The resin is tinted by hand — the pigment mixed once and never repeated, so your colour exists only in your piece — then poured in a single uninterrupted session and degassed under vacuum, drawing out the air so the cured body is clear.
- Cure slowly. Then it rests. A thick cast cures slowly — roughly three weeks — before the first cut, because rushing the exotherm risks cracks and cloudiness.
- Level, sand and finish. Only then do we level, sand through the grits, and finish in oil or lacquer.
- Deliver. The finished piece is crated and delivered worldwide — to residences, yachts and hospitality projects alike.
Lead time runs 6–12 weeks. On the chemistry behind the choice of resin, see epoxy vs resin.
The materials. No substitutes.
Cast resin
Poured in a single uninterrupted session, degassed under vacuum and cured for three weeks before the first cut. Tinted with pigments we mix once and never repeat — colour guidance is in resin colours.
Exotic woods
Ziricote, macassar and burled walnut, bought as whole flitches and rested in our store for years, not days. We cut around the figure, never through it — more on choosing wood in the best wood for a river table and on whole-flitch work in live-edge furniture.
Aniline leather
Aniline-finished hides, saddle-stitched by hand and left to age honestly. Chosen for softness and patina — to mark, soften and improve for decades.

Common questions
How long does a custom resin table take?
Six to twelve weeks, depending on the piece. Resin is poured in a single session, degassed under vacuum and cured for three weeks before the first cut — we don't hurry it. The full story is in river tables, explained.
Do you deliver outside Egypt?
Yes — pieces are made to order in Egypt and delivered worldwide. Residences, yachts and hospitality projects are all familiar territory.
What materials do you work in?
Cast resin, exotic woods — ziricote, macassar and burled walnut, bought as whole flitches — and aniline-finished leather. Pigments are mixed once and never repeated, so no two pours match.
Can a piece be made for my exact space?
That's the only way we work. Every order starts with a conversation about your space and material, then sample pours and drawings you approve before the making begins.
