Opera House VIP Lounge

VIP lounge at the Egyptian Opera House, Zamalek, Cairo
Concept

A design for the Egyptian Opera House's VIP wing, built around a sense of occasion. Deep red walls and patterned carpet run the length of the corridor, framed in dark wood, while a gallery of portraits lines the walk to the private rooms. The palette and materials were chosen to feel theatrical without losing the warmth of a lounge — a space guests pass through on the way to the show, and one worth pausing in.

A grand piano and a pair of zebra-print armchairs anchor the lounge, set against a full-height marble slab and a framed portrait, with a travertine-based console table completing the composition.
