Crafting the Future, Honoring the Past

For thousands of years, Egypt has been a cradle of craftsmanship—a land where artistry was not just a skill, but a sacred tradition. From the intricate furniture found in Tutankhamun’s tomb to the towering obelisks and hand-carved temples that still stand today, Egyptians were among the first in the world to master the art of craftsmanship. Their legacy of precision, innovation, and beauty has inspired generations, shaping the way the world understands design.

Yet, in today’s fast-paced world, this heritage is at risk of being overshadowed by mass production and fading traditions. At Velar, we refuse to let that happen. We are on a mission to not only celebrate but actively revive and evolve Egyptian craftsmanship.

How We Support Our Local Artisans:

Investing in Their Future – 10% of our total sales go directly toward enhancing the lives of Egyptian furniture makers, ensuring they have access to modern tools, high-quality materials, and better facilities.

Modernizing Workshops – Many artisans still work with outdated techniques and limited resources. We help upgrade their workshops, introducing them to new technologies while preserving their traditional methods.

Education & Skill Development – We offer training programs for both artisans and their families, teaching them how to refine their craft, manage their businesses, and market their work to global audiences.

Preserving Heritage – By supporting local artisans, we ensure that the knowledge passed down for millennia does not disappear but continues to inspire new generations of Egyptian craftsmen.

Creating Sustainable Livelihoods – Our goal is not just to support artisans temporarily but to help them build lasting, self-sustaining careers that provide stability for their families and communities.
