Analogue — objects and interiors made by hand in Cairo
About us
Made by hand, in Cairo.
Analogue seeks to create artistically and conceptually rich products and experiences whilst reviving local, traditional craftsmanship. Designed by Karim Mekhtigian in collaboration with skilled Egyptian artisans, Analogue’s contemporary products are inspired by Egypt’s diverse heritage, art, and culture.
Artisans
Knowledge that lives in hands.
Every piece is made by hand, in workshops we know by name. Metal is spun and blackened, stoneware is thrown and kiln-glazed, alabaster and marble are cut from Egyptian quarries and finished by people who have done it for a very long time. That knowledge is local, it is older than the studio, and it is the reason the work looks the way it does.
— colourways
D’HiPPO.
The Defender, in every glaze it is made in. Drag it, throw it, or use the arrows — then pick a colour to see it on its own.
— collections
By collection.
The workshop files a piece by its material. This is the shop arranged the same way.
