Bespoke Furniture
Bespoke Furniture for Homes in Egypt
Customised furniture for private homes in Egypt, designed for the room it will occupy rather than selected from a catalogue.
The Service
Furniture Shaped Around Your Home
Bespoke furniture at MAKANELL is the making of pieces for a particular home. Customised furniture can complete a MAKANELL interior, or sit within a house designed elsewhere, provided the brief is clear.
Explore selected furniture pieces below, then discuss the dimensions, materials and finishes for your own room.
Designed Around the Space
A piece is considered with the room: how people will sit, pass, eat or rest, and how the furniture should sit with the architecture already there. Scale and proportion are set before making begins.
Room dimensions, everyday use and the surrounding furniture guide the brief.
Material and Finish Selection
Timber, upholstery and stone can be considered against the design of the piece and the surrounding room. Review material and finish options with the studio before confirming the brief.
Selection happens in conversation, so that customised furniture does not arrive as a separate language from the interior.
Made to Your Requirements
The first useful facts are simple: which rooms, approximate dimensions, how the piece will be used, and whether it belongs to a wider MAKANELL interior or stands alone.
International homeowners and residents in Egypt can begin that conversation before a visit. The Dokki showroom remains the place to review pieces in person when travel is possible.
Pieces
Furniture for Different Rooms
Explore selected sofas, chairs, tables and seating. Discuss the piece your room needs with the studio.

Armchairs and side chairs, including cane and upholstered work shown in the photographs.
Daybeds
Low seating with upholstered channels and a continuous form.
Tables
Coffee tables and related surfaces made to sit with the seating around them.

Outdoor seating
Floor cushions and terrace seating for outdoor living spaces.
Preparing Your Furniture Commission
Bespoke furniture is designed around a particular room, its dimensions and the way it will be used. MAKANELL offers custom furniture as an individual commission or as part of an interior brief.
Prepare a furniture brief
Start with the type of piece, approximate room dimensions and photographs of the space. Describe the number of users, daily use and existing furniture. Reference images can explain proportion, upholstery or finish preferences.
Confirm the details before making
Discuss dimensions, materials, upholstery, finish and the agreed design. Check how the piece will enter the property and where it will be placed. The proposal should make the scope and any placement requirements clear.
Commissioning from outside Egypt
Send your room information before a visit and state whether someone can confirm dimensions and access locally. Ask how material and finish choices will be reviewed. A showroom visit can be discussed when you are in Egypt.
Cost and timing
Cost and timing need to be discussed against the property or piece, the agreed scope and the material choices. Ask for a proposal covering these details; this website does not publish a fixed price list or completion timetable.

Process
A clear path for a piece of furniture.
The stages below describe a typical furniture commission. The order and timing are agreed against your brief.
Consultation
A conversation about the home, the room and whether you need a single piece or a wider interior.
Brief
Use, approximate size and how the piece should sit with what is already there.
Design direction
Proportion and character are set so the furniture belongs to the room.
Materials and finishes
Timber, fabric and related finishes are chosen against that direction.
Making
The piece is produced to the agreed design. Dimensions, materials and finishes follow the agreed brief.
Placement
Where required, the furniture is placed in the home so the room can be used.

Questions
What information is needed for custom furniture?
Share the type of piece, approximate room dimensions, photographs, intended use and material or upholstery preferences. Confirm dimensions and access before making.
Can I order one bespoke furniture piece?
Yes. Bespoke furniture can be discussed as an individual commission or alongside a wider interior project.
What is bespoke furniture at MAKANELL?
Bespoke furniture is customised furniture made for a specific home rather than chosen from a standard collection. Pieces are designed around the room, how it will be used, and the interior language of the house.
What kinds of pieces does MAKANELL make?
The photographed work includes sofas, chairs, daybeds, tables, stools and outdoor seating. Other pieces can be discussed once the brief is understood. The studio does not publish a fixed catalogue.
Can I commission customised furniture for a home designed elsewhere?
Yes. Bespoke furniture can complete an existing interior when the dimensions, use and atmosphere of the room are clear.
Does furniture have to be part of a full interior project?
No. Some clients come only for furniture. Others hold design, finishing and furniture as one journey so the pieces and the rooms share a language.
Where can I see MAKANELL furniture?
Selected pieces are published on this website and on the official MAKANELL channels. The showroom in Dokki is the place to discuss a piece in person.
