This really is a very striking designed Egyptian style bookshelf sideboard unit, surpassed only by the one below. These are 2 initial design ideas are unlike any existing Egyptian furniture, and yet they are in keeping with that style. They tip a nod of respect to Piranesi and other C18th designers working in the then newly discovered Egyptian style. The central Pylon shaped bookshelf unit was inspired by gateways & entrances, with the stepped height of the side units echoing building architecture. This would make a massive feature piece in any interior. The sieboard sides overall shape uses typical Egyptian sloped sides, but we inverted them. But it looks still very typically Egyptian in style. It is covered in Egyptian figure painting but still has a very clean modern look. It offers masses of storage and display space.
Each sideboard side is a relativery straight forward 2 door cabinet, fitted with 1 - 2 interior shelves. The bookshelves can be either solid, for books, or glass, for display. Hand made and painted pieces like this take time and skill to produce, they are not cheap to do. For the top you could use a matching painted top, or limestone (the classic Egyptian stone but marks easier in a bathroom) marble, granite, quartz, glass, Corian, wood, whatever you like. Hand painted pieces like this take time and skill to produce, they are not cheap to do. As this is made bespoke we can change the proportions, within reason, change the designs and colours used. The cupboard can be fitted with 1 -2 shelves. Made to order, we don't disclose sizes or prices until we've agreed a spec with a customer.

The above piece is both ridiculous and wonderful. This is how a designers has fun, playing around with shapes. We took the top sideboard design and re-arranged it to produce one of the most unusual furniture shapes seen. This would make a piece of interior architecture and art rolled into one.
