Egypt’s Afkarna Gallery Keeps It Local With Homegrown Home Decor

Egypt-based Afkarna Gallery is your one-stop destination for furniture, lighting, and interior design located in Arkan Mall, Sheikh Zayed. Founded in 2012 by Soheir Habib, driven by her passion for interior and product design, Afkarna Gallery also serves as the parent company of Plush Jewellery Hardware, specialising in handmade furniture accessories, and Soheir Habib Interiors. 

Soheir Habib’s career began with her Interior Design studies at the Interior Design Institute in London. The creation of Afkarna was driven by her desire to transform intangible ideas and dreams into tangible designs, blending the enchantment of the subconscious with functional artistry. She believes that layering and mixing materials creates a spectrum of ambiance, visual contrast and character in design. This philosophy profoundly influenced her work and designs.  

“My journey began with dreams that transformed into tangible sketches, guiding my creative process,” Soheir Habib, Founder of Afkarna Gallery, tells SceneHome.

By embracing a detail-oriented approach, Afkarna Gallery provides a comprehensive project management service that covers every phase, from initial design and layout to interior fit-outs, logistics and furniture installation.

Specialising in custom-made furniture, Afkarna takes pride in manufacturing every piece locally in their own mill and factory, avoiding subcontractors. This commitment ensures a high-quality end result, tailored to perfection. 

“Each piece is a reflection of my belief that dreams hold the power to shape a more beautiful, inspiring world,” Habib says.

Dedicated to weaving art into their customers' lives, Afkarna Gallery’s latest creation ‘Plush’ is a new line of furniture jewellery hardware designed to enhance your home furnishings. The collection of handmade handles and knobs, inspired by the natural environment and infused with a touch of nostalgia, blend modern aesthetics with timeless elegance. 

Crafted by a team of talented artisans and craftsmen, ‘Plush’ features pieces made from pure copper, brass, stainless steel, and wood. Most designs are available in three elegant finishes: Gold, Silver and Rose Gold. 

These designs transform furniture into art pieces, seamlessly complementing a variety of tastes and styles. Limited in quantity and available in various sizes, to suit a range of items, including doors, windows, gates, furniture cabinets, drawers, and closets. 

Soheir Habib Interiors offers expert services in architecture, interior design, and space planning. Provide unique designs and turnkey solutions for any project, aiming to create spaces that reflect your identity and offer a touch of luxury.
