Harraneya Chair

Harraneya Chair

The Harraneya chair aims to mix modern design with traditional handicrafts. The chair frame is a sleek simple wooden frame inspired from mid century modern design.  While, the sides of the chair take on a triangular shape, a shape that was used to adorn many buildings in the old Egyptian culture, the Nubian culture, & in the decoration of Bedouin accessories.   


The traditional handicraft of Killim weaving is incorporated within the chair through the use of Haraneya Killims for the back & side upholstery. Harraneya Killims are unique one of a kind hand made pieces that are produced from local materials such as wool & cotton yarn. Killim weaving is one of the oldest handicrafts in Egypt that represents a unique type of art. Each weaver can actually spend several months to just finish one piece and the piece is made completely from the weavers’ own imagination. Thus each piece is a one of a kind item that can never be replicated. The incorporation of these Killims within the design also helps draw attention to this unique handicraft and apply it in a new way that could support the work of local artisans and weavers.


Furthermore, the Killims narrate various cultural stories and scenes from the Egyptian context. They showcase different cultural stories either from the rural Egyptian life, from natural scenery, or from the Bedouin life.  Thus, the chair frames these different stories and narrates them through out its three sides.


N.B: Each Chair is unique & the Harraneya Killim colors and weaved drawings may change according to the availability of the material. However upon order, killim colors and drawings can be decided upon and customized to suit the clients’ needs.
