Designed by Egyptian architect Hisham Ghorab, owner of Style Design Egypt, the Khufu’s restaurant in Giza reflects a cozy fusion of design and contemporary elements that are seamlessly integrated with their historical surroundings. The sandstone architecture appears as though emerging from the desert sands themselves, and a neutral color palette defines the various spaces throughout the building.
During the dining experience, the restaurant affords an extraordinarily close view of the Pyramids, offering a truly unique atmosphere. Italian craftsmanship harmoniously integrates with the region’s flavors and culture, with Pedrali’s distinctive furnishings adorning both the indoor and outdoor spaces of the restaurant.
The Panarea collection, designed by CMP Design, imparts a sense of understated elegance to the striking outdoor terrace, featuring an intricately handwoven pattern that combines graphic precision with aesthetic refinement. Complementing the stunning view from the terrace, the Ypsilon tables designed by Jorge Pensi, together with the Arki-Table, strike a harmonious balance between linear, structural precision and versatility.
In contrast, the interior space embraces a profoundly natural aesthetic, courtesy of both the Nemea chairs, a reinterpretation of CMP Design’s classic ash and aluminum model, and the Malmö armchairs, also by CMP Design. The latter explore the expressive nature of curved forms and are situated in the bar area, where there is also a stool version.
