About Us

Tektōn is to infuse beauty in people’s lives through offering an outstanding experience from start to finish.

At Tektōn, we believe good design is honest, lasting, and rooted in real materials. What started as a small workshop in Cairo has grown into a design house crafting timeless furniture, interiors, and accessories, all made in Egypt, with soul and purpose.

We blend architecture, product design, and local craftsmanship to create pieces that serve both function and feeling. Whether it's a single handmade chair or a fully customized living space, our mission is to make beauty accessible, sustainable, and meaningful.

Tektōn is a common term for a craftsman, in particular a carpenter, woodworker, or builder in Ancient Greek. A craftsman puts love into and passion for whatever artwork they create. That is exactly how we do work everyday.

At Tektōn, our Cairo-based factory is where designers and craftsmen come together to shape wood into lasting beauty, with every detail made with precision and care. For us, excellence is not a phase but a way of working.

We also collaborate with local artisans in kilim weaving, pottery, glass, copper, and more, bringing the same warmth and intention into accessories that complete our spaces. These partnerships preserve heritage, inspire new styles, and support the hands keeping crafts alive. Tekton is more than a furniture brand; it’s a design house built on meaning, storytelling, and the belief that beauty should serve both people and place.

At Tekton, we believe that materials say as much as the design itself. That’s why we work with premium solid wood, sourced from trusted sawmills committed to sustainability. Every tree is legally harvested and carefully traced to ensure forests stay healthy and continue to grow.

But it’s not just about the wood. We select every element, from genuine leather and soft-close mechanisms to water-based finishes and brass handles, with care. Everything we use is safe, non-toxic, and made to last, supporting both your space and the environment.

Many of our pieces are also shaped and finished by hand, honoring the craft of making with precision and patience. It’s in these small, thoughtful touches that our values come to life. Because for us, good design is about more than how something looks, it’s about how it's made, what it stands for, and how long it will stay with you.
