The Grand Lobby

Liquid Metal · Marble · Wood Carving

A landmark hospitality project featuring a sweeping liquid metal reception desk, hand-carved timber screen walls, and bespoke marble flooring patterns. The interplay of reflective and matte surfaces was developed through months of material testing and prototyping. This is a statement piece that sets the tone for the entire guest experience, balancing grandeur with a sense of intimate craftsmanship.

Materials Used

Amber Lounge

Resin · Mother of Pearl · Brass

A boutique restaurant interior where translucent amber resin panels meet hand-inlaid mother of pearl detailing. Every surface was designed to shift with the changing light throughout the evening, creating an atmosphere that feels different at each moment of the day. The warm tones of the resin are punctuated by cool, luminous inlays that catch the light like stars.

Materials Used

The Archive Hotel

Straw Marquetry · Wood Carving · Liquid Metal

A heritage hospitality project where traditional straw marquetry wall panels line the corridors, meeting hand-carved reception furniture and liquid metal accent pieces. The collection celebrates craftsmanship traditions while speaking a contemporary language. Every corridor becomes a gallery, every room an invitation to slow down and appreciate the surface details.

Materials Used

Maison du Nil

Straw Marquetry · Wood · Resin

A residential commission where every surface tells a story of material experimentation and personal refinement. Custom straw marquetry panels frame the living spaces while resin-topped furniture pieces anchor each room. The collection celebrates the art of slowness in a world that moves too fast, inviting inhabitants to notice and appreciate the craft that surrounds them daily.

Materials Used

Zamalek Residence

Macaopa Marble · Handmade Ceramics · Liquid Metal

Two bespoke items for a private residence in Zamalek. A fireplace surround crafted from Macaopa marble and handmade ceramic tiles, each tile glazed in blue, set within a wooden frame, and arranged by hand to compose a scene drawn from nature. The second piece is an organic-shaped table finished in textured liquid metal, its surface shaped to feel geological rather than designed. Two objects, one space, one conversation between material warmth and sculptural form.

Materials Used

Villa Sakkara

Marble · Ceramics · Wood

A desert-edge residence where local stone and ceramic work meet contemporary carpentry. The material palette draws from the surrounding landscape, sand tones, terracotta, and weathered timber. Every piece in this collection is a conversation with place, honoring local traditions while crafting for modern living. The result is spaces that feel both timeless and urgently contemporary.

Materials Used

Fork Table

with Nineteen Furniture

Liquid Metal · Straw Marquetry · Mother of Pearl · Terrazzo · Marble

Various sizes available

A collaboration with Nineteen Furniture that became a playground for material experimentation. Nineteen produced the structure — a sculptural, fork-shaped base — and we explored every finish and surface pairing we could. Liquid metal bases in every tone. Tops in straw marquetry, mother of pearl, terrazzo, marble. Each combination a different object entirely. Widely customizable in material, finish, and size.

Customization Options

Eroded Chair

with Nineteen Furniture

Wood · Liquid Metal · Patina

A chair you have to see up close. Hand-carved from edge to edge, coated in liquid metal, then patina-treated until the surface turned blue-green and bronze in layers. Debuted at Cairo Design Week.

Terrain

with Omar Siam

Marble · Wood Carving

A furniture collection inspired by geological formations. Each piece begins with a hand-carved timber base that transitions into polished stone, blurring the line between natural and crafted surfaces. Omar's sculptural thinking combines with our material expertise to create furniture that feels less designed and more discovered, as if excavated from the earth itself.

Materials Used

The Capital Club

Liquid Metal · Resin · Marble

A members-only social club where liquid metal bar surfaces meet translucent resin light features and marble-clad walls. The material palette was chosen to age with the space, developing patina and character as the club builds its own history.

Materials Used

Garden City Apartment

Straw Marquetry · Liquid Metal · Resin

A private apartment where straw marquetry wall panels frame the living spaces, complemented by liquid metal console pieces and resin-topped surfaces. The material palette was developed to feel cohesive yet varied, each room carrying its own texture while belonging to the same conversation.

Materials Used

Echo Forms

Resin · Liquid Metal · Wood

A series of sculptural objects exploring how sound and form share the same geometry. Yasmine Fathi's research into acoustic patterns was translated into physical surfaces: resin panels that ripple like waveforms, liquid metal shells that amplify ambient light, and carved wood bases that anchor each piece to something tactile and grounded.

Materials Used

The Meridian Console

Liquid Metal · Walnut

Edition of 8 — 5 remaining

A console born from material research into the tension between warm timber and cool, reflective liquid metal. The surface shifts between bronze and silver depending on the viewing angle. Each edition is hand-finished over three weeks, carrying the signature of its making and the time invested in its refinement.

Strata Wall Panel I

Resin · Pigment · Timber

Edition of 12 — 9 remaining

Layers of tinted resin and natural pigment are built up over a timber core, creating a cross-section of color that shifts with depth and light. Each panel is unique in its color composition while following the same layering process. The result is a series of wall pieces that feel like geological studies, windows into the making process itself.

The Vessel

Ceramic · Liquid Metal

Edition of 5 — 2 remaining

A sculptural vessel form where hand-thrown ceramic meets liquid metal finishing. The interior retains the raw ceramic texture while the exterior is coated in a reflective liquid metal layer, creating a dialogue between the organic and the refined. Each piece is a meditation on duality — raw and refined, ancient and contemporary, intimate and monumental.

Cortex Side Table

Resin · Liquid Metal

The Cortex Side Table explores the dialogue between organic fluidity and metallic precision. A resin body — layered, translucent, alive with depth — meets a liquid metal surface that shifts between warm and cool tones as you move around it. The form is inspired by natural cross-sections, as if the table were sliced from something larger and older, revealing the material intelligence within. Each piece is hand-poured and finished over several days, ensuring no two are identical in their internal colour movement.

Lapis Side Table

Beech Wood · Straw Marquetry

A side table clad entirely in blue straw marquetry: top, sides, and legs. Hand-cut strips laid one by one into a tight geometric pattern that shifts in tone and depth with every change of light and angle. Beech wood structure beneath. Built slowly, by hand.

Relic Central Table

Beech Wood · Straw Marquetry · Resin

The Relic Central Table is a three-material composition that reads like a geological find, as though something ancient was unearthed and carefully preserved. A solid beech wood frame supports a surface where straw marquetry panels transition into clear resin sections, allowing you to see into the construction and the layered craft beneath. The resin acts as both a structural element and a window, revealing the point where natural material and human technique converge. The proportions — long and low — are designed for the centre of a living space, inviting both use and contemplation.

Venura Table / Bench

Resin · Liquid Metal

The Venura is a dual-purpose form, a table that doubles as a bench, or a bench that happens to hold things. The design is deliberately ambiguous, inviting the owner to decide its role. A translucent resin body is finished in liquid metal, creating a surface that feels monolithic but carries light within it. The form is minimal and sculptural, with softened edges that suggest something shaped by time rather than drawn on a screen. At 100 cm long, it sits comfortably beside a sofa, at the foot of a bed, or as a standalone object in an entryway. The liquid metal exterior develops a subtle patina with age, making each piece more personal over time.

The Atelier

Creative Works is a production house for furniture and art pieces. We work with designers, homeowners, and commercial clients across the full journey of a piece, from early concepts and material research to sampling and final production. The work is hands-on, detail-driven, and always rooted in craft.

At the core of what we do is material experimentation. We're constantly testing new combinations of surfaces, finishes, and techniques, pushing what's possible and developing new directions. Alongside client commissions, we create our own studio pieces — objects that reflect what excites us and what we believe craft can become.

A Colortek Studio

Creative Works is the design atelier of Colortek, building on decades of expertise in decorative finishes and surface innovation. Where Colortek brings material intelligence to architecture and interiors at scale, Creative Works applies that same knowledge to furniture, objects, and collectible design at the scale of individual pieces.
