‘Fel-Warsha’ literally means ‘inside the workshop’ in Arabic language. The name was chosen deliberately due to its poetic connotations in Egyptian Arabic – conjuring up visions of Egypt’s rich and long heritage in traditional handmade craftsmanship.

‘Fel-Warsha’ is a design research studio based in Cairo aims both to remap and to re-think craftsmanship in contemporary form, by bringing together Egyptian designers and artisans in one place to share knowledge and ideas, and ultimately collaborate to produce vibrant, original products. Fel-Warsha started as a Master Diploma project at ECAL University of Art and Design.
