Your table tells a story — of taste, texture, culture, and the people you share it with. Whether you’re drawn to timeless luxury, handcrafted charm, or designs rooted in heritage, the world of modern tableware has never been more creative or meaningful. Here are five brands redefining how we dine — blending artistry, ethics, and emotion into every piece.
Fathy Mahmoud
Since 1948, Fathy Mahmoud has been synonymous with craftsmanship, elegance, and legacy. Their collections range from luxury pieces infused with real gold and platinum to delicately patterned decal designs and handcrafted artisan creations. Each item embodies the brand’s long tradition of merging quality with artistry — perfect for those who appreciate timeless sophistication with a modern edge.
Kin Suki
If you love maximalist energy, Kin Suki is your go-to. Every piece is designed to effortlessly mix and match, creating tablescapes that feel vibrant yet harmonious.
Their Wabi-Sabi section celebrates the beauty of imperfection — a joyful nod to life’s charming quirks and flaws. Think of it as a celebration of authenticity: each item carries a personality, inviting you to embrace what’s beautifully imperfect. After all, who wants to be flawlessly boring when you can be uniquely wabi-sabi?
AMM Home
At AMM Home, tableware isn’t just about eating — it’s about slowing down and appreciating the little things. Everything is handmade, simple, and inspired by nature, with subtle shapes and textures that make each piece feel a little special.
If you’re into sustainability, minimalism, or just want things that feel thoughtful and calm in your home, these pieces fit right in. They’re the kind of tableware that quietly makes everyday life feel a bit more intentional.
Knana
Knana draws its soul from Egypt — its culture, art, and rich history. The name itself echoes the ancient phrase “أرض الكنانة” (Ard El-Kenana), meaning the land of Egypt. Knana translates the country’s artistic evolution into contemporary homeware, blending influences from African, Arab, and European cultures across time.
Their three signature collections each tell a story:
Mashrabeya, inspired by intricate woodwork and light play,
Khaldoun, a tribute to Ramses’ loyal horse — a symbol of strength and unity,
Modhab, celebrating opulence and craftsmanship. Knana’s designs are where history meets modernity, turning heritage into everyday beauty.
MADU
MADU began with a curious woman who fell in love with Egypt — its artisans, its textures, its soul. What started as a personal collection of handmade treasures grew into a curated shop in Zamalek, filled with pieces that tell human stories.
Today, MADU has evolved into a creative hub and studio, supporting marginalized artisans and giving forgotten crafts new life. MADU is about connection — between maker and home, tradition and innovation, story and style. Its name, “Madu,” means of the people in ancient Egyptian — a fitting tribute to its purpose and heart.
Going modern with your tableware doesn’t have to mean one thing — whether you’re into bold, maximalist patterns, calm, minimalist shapes, or pieces inspired by heritage and history, there’s something for every style. Some designs celebrate imperfection and personality, others focus on simplicity and mindfulness, while a few carry echoes of culture and craftsmanship. The best part is mixing it all together, creating a table that feels personal, thoughtful, and entirely your own.
