Drawn to the moon, stars, and the sky, award winning interior designer Shewekar introduces a new cosmic collection entitled Celestial that awakens the senses and sparks inner imagination.
Headlining this timeless collection is their Signature-Shewekar-Straw; an all but lost traditional art custom that the brand brought to furniture design and manufacturing, after 18 months of extensive research and development.
Shooting for the stars, Shewekar presents an incredibly heavenly experience through a line-up of designs unlike any other.
With its historical allusions and storyline, Shewekar‘s Celestial collection pays homage to ancient Egyptian ideologies and magical mysteries of the universe.
Emphasizing meticulous craftsmanship, elegant colors and luxurious textiles, Shewekar’s collection features a total of 11 furniture and decor pieces including sofas, dining tables, dining chairs, arm chairs, and coffee tables.
Every star in the constellation has a story, and Shewekar‘s collection of stellar pieces are no different. This collection transports you on a journey around the cosmos with each design it features.
Each piece is made with a unique fusion of high-end, luxurious materials to complement the story behind its creation.
Several pieces mix the ethereal and ancient Egyptian heritage that serve as the collection’s primary sources of inspiration through the use of textured brass, rare apple rind veneer, precious mother of pearl, custom-made blown glass and hand-laid signature Shewekar straw.
The story behind some of the masterpieces are utterly intriguing, such as the “North Star,” which isinspired by Nut, the Egyptian celestial goddess of the sky.
The startling beauty of this armchair is emphasised by the embedded brass stars contrasting the deep blue straw, showcasing the striking beauty and original design of this piece.
Another creation in the collection, the over-sized organic-shaped”Eternal” sofa, is crowned with a shimmering gold pharaonic upholstery for a royal touch reminiscent of an era of refined luxury.
“Horizon,” also displays a distinctive ancient Egyptian influence; just like the real horizon, this art deco console defines infinite beauty, with a hand-laid mother of pearl pattern inspired by the hieroglyph representing the Nile river.
Shewekar’s interstellar fascination is also showcased in the “Moon Rise” dining chairs set that illustrate the lunar cycle from moonrise to moonset, encircling the “Divine” dining table that is completely encrusted in a beautiful hand-laid asymmetric pattern of iridescent bronze straw.
The “Spirited” dining buffet is at the heart of this collection, with intertwining hand-laid luscious shades of blue straw infused with unique turquoise mother-of-pearl, emanating an ethereal look and feel.
Shewekar‘s conversational works of art combine luxury, elegance, and functionality to distinctively transform any room.
Her designs are inspired by the region’s rich history, fusing Egyptian tradition and craftsmanship with contemporary design.
Each piece is drawn and re-drawn to maturity and then crafted to perfection by the best artisans in Egypt, bringing together an exquisite blend of heritage, nature and luxury.
The entire furniture collection truly showcases artistic and timeless collectibles that will never go out of style, and that can be customized according to one’s space, thus giving the pieces a unique detail that people would be proud to claim as their own.
