Markaz
Mohammed Amin is a passionate cultural nomad. For more than two decades, he has traveled through the rugged mountains of St. Catherine to the lush banks of the Nile Valley to discover the story of Egypt’s ethnic crafts and the “maker communities” that bring them to life.He partnered with Naila El Shishiny, the creative mind behind Markaz who magically infuses her design vision to reinterpret the products with a contemporary relevance for today's customer. As avid social entrepreneurs, they both aim to support and promote the conservation and revival of Egyptian traditional crafts, through applying traditional skills to their wide selection of lifestyle and home products.
All of the crafts sold at Markaz are made by local Egyptian Artisans. One Markaz product is often created with several crafts originating from different areas of Egypt. With each delicate stitch and colorful beaded tassel, a unique narrative of cultural identity and pride is celebrated through their unique boho-inspired brand.
