Karkadé Coasters
Karkadé Coasters
Karkadé is a hibiscus tea with a tart, cranberry-like flavor popular in North and West Africa. However, it is in Egypt and Sudan where the drink has come to symbolize the so-called “Arab Street” where many vendors and open-air cafes peddle the drink round the clock.
Our Karkadé coasters are made of numerous collages drawn onto glass with oil-based colors and gold-leaf puree. The illustrations offer a window into popular living in Egypt and North Africa. Whether classical proverbs, or figures inspired by the works of such renowned illustrators as Hilmi El-Tuni and Mohieddine Ellabbad, the art on each coaster strives to marry old lettering styles with popular culture and a modernist style of painting. — Karkadé Coasters :: كوسترات كركديه
