THE MAJESTY OF EGYPTIAN STYLE
“Our bodies have been flooded by the blue Nile water, tanned by the golden arrays of the exuberant
sun, we rode the papyrus boats under the shade of green palm trees where we were surrounded by
a sandy valley, all wrapped around with towering buildings and silver crescent above, our memories
twinkling with the majesty of the everlasting history, my papers and my chisel were freed by the
stretching of my hands to draw, reforming the intellect of the future.”
Furniture plays an essential role in the lives of civilizations for the mystery and curious placement it
occupies as it is considered a valuable reference for social structure of ancient societies. The role of
furniture is an important embodiment in the history of art, culture and technology. Due to its
importance and tremendous effect, it became an inevitable matter to search for furniture that would
insinuate the culture, civilization and traditions of its users. In spite of the great history of ancient
Egyptian furniture, in particular furniture that was discovered in the beginning of the twentieth
century, that altered a lot of perceptions in the world of furniture, nevertheless we still didn’t share
world societies in any contribution in this field till now. However, we didn’t meet our needs for
furniture that expresses our contemporary concepts, which in is its essence assures our identity and
Egyptian belonging.
