Some cities are observed. Cairo is experienced in layers. Through weathered stone, intricate geometry, shifting light and generations of craftsmanship, the city reveals a visual language shaped by culture and time. For Claire Dominic’s Buro, walking through Cairo became an exploration of how heritage continues to inspire the spaces we create today.
In uncertain times, we instinctively return to what matters most—our home and the people we share it with. More than ever, home has become a place of comfort, calm, and emotional grounding. It’s where we slow down, reconnect, and find a sense of balance again.
Today, we often speak about interiors through aesthetics—materials, colours, and composition. But great design is about far more than what we see.
A thoughtfully designed home quietly supports everyday life. Through light, texture, proportion, and atmosphere, it creates a sense of comfort, safety, and belonging that shapes how we feel, often without us even noticing.
Between project meetings in New York, Claire Dominic’s Buro stepped into two of the city’s most influential cultural spaces—the Museum of Modern Art and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. Beyond seeing celebrated works of art, these visits became an opportunity to reflect on scale, materiality, movement, and the relationship between art and the spaces that hold it.
Living and working in the Arab world has been a continual source of inspiration. Across every journey, city, and building, I have discovered an architectural language that beautifully balances heritage with innovation.
Arabic architecture is more than a visual style—it is a timeless expression of culture, identity, and craftsmanship that continues to evolve while honouring its rich history.
What fascinates me most is the way Arabic design embraces contrast without losing harmony.
Traditional courtyards, elegant arches, intricate mashrabiya screens, and geometric patterns continue to shape contemporary homes, hotels, and public spaces.
Every detail reflects a design philosophy where beauty, functionality, and cultural identity exist in perfect balance, creating spaces that feel both timeless and deeply connected to their surroundings.
Maison & Objet 2025 once again transformed Paris into a global destination for creativity, bringing together designers, brands, artisans, and innovators from around the world.
For Claire Dominics Buro, the exhibition was an opportunity to discover emerging materials, fresh ideas, and evolving design philosophies that continue to shape the future of architecture and interior design.
Guided by this year’s theme, Sur/Reality, the exhibition celebrated imagination, craftsmanship, and responsible innovation.
Sculptural lighting, expressive forms, tactile materials, and immersive installations demonstrated how contemporary interiors are becoming increasingly emotional, playful, and sustainable.
Throughout the seven exhibition halls, one message remained clear: exceptional design is no longer defined by aesthetics alone, but by its ability to create meaningful experiences through creativity and purpose.
