pedrali furnishes khufu’s restaurant in egypt

Pedrali continues to expand its horizons, all the way to Khufu’s restaurant in Giza, Egypt. Under the design direction of Style Design Architects, the studio curated the culinary experience with the comfort and elegance of the furnishing brand. With striking views that overlook the Pyramids, the contemporary Italian products complement the ancient and traditional feel of the space – made with sandstone – as Pedrali’s collections enrich the space with luxurious narratives.

the project emerges with the curation of Style Design architects

Cairo-based interior design and architectural studio Style Design Architects emerges Kfufu’s Restaurant from the sand surrounding the Pyramids of Egypt. In partnership with Pedrali, history meets contemporaneity as the high-end furniture decorate the spaces, indoors and out. Whether at the bar, the lounge area or the dining area, the chairs, armchairs, tables and barstools offer the elegant comfort that characterizes the brand’s Italian craftsmanship. 

pedrali complements the earthy harmony of khufu’s restaurant

The earthy color scheme and natural materials are evident throughout the different spaces, highlighted further by Pedrali. Out on the terrace, the Panarea armchairs by CMP Design feature a traditional element in polypropylene cord hand-woven in Italy that wraps around the steel tube frame that is ideal for the outdoors. The seat cushion is dressed a in dry-feel polyurethane foam, covered in fabric made from the same yarn used for the woven element. 

To complement the calming hues of the ceiling, walls and floor, Pedrali’s Nemea chairs by CMP Design recall the idea of a classic gracefulness molded by time and tradition, which is ideal for how the restaurant’s architecture respects the historic surroundings. The product is made of ash veneered plywood, solid ash wood legs and has a die-cast aluminum frame. The combination of the various products create diversity without altering the harmony of the room. 

The linearity of the columns, pillars and lights is completed with the wooden version of the Malmö stools by CMP Design. Similar to the Malmö chairs, the product that adorns the bar area is made in an ash veneered plywood shell, with a solid ash wood frame and stainless steel footrests.
