Product description

Garden City, an affluent neighborhood in Cairo, was the first of many large-scale urban planning attempts undertaken by a ruler to “Europeanise” Egypt. This time, by Ismail Pasha, the one-time Khedive of Egypt and conqueror of Sudan. A man known for two things, championing the construction of a man-made waterway better known as the Suez Canal, and his seven daughters, the most aspirational hawanem of the day. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
With crisp, geometric contours and a powerful yet demure presence, all floral and cream and dusty pink, the first thought this chair evokes is that of a true lady; a hanem. And while it truly kindles a sense of nobility, its hexagonal base and simple, floral decoupage most popular among Egyptians of all classes, recalls that it remains contextually all-Egyptian, just like the Garden City District after which it was named.⁠⁠
