Carved walnut base featuring layered arched cutouts, echoing Ottoman architecture² and Islamic geometric patterns, accented with brass crescent-inlaid side panels inspired by Damascus tilework⁴.
Persian hand-quilted cushions in olive green velvet with gold embroidery, visualizing “desert-to-oasis” narratives.
Teruier’s Hidden Storage System
Triple-layer hydraulic storage:
Top touch-activated compartment (15cm deep, fits 6 blankets)
Middle bidirectional tray (teak rails, 50kg capacity, for hookahs/tea sets)
Bottom humidity-proof safe (biometric lock for valuables)
Modular seating: Convertible to 4 poufs with hidden spice compartments, recalling caravan furniture⁴.
Smart Interaction Desert-Tech Fusion
Gesture-activated LED “candlelight” strips along cushions evoke Arabian courtyard nights.
Humidity control via Sinai basalt water reservoir⁴ maintains 45% RH for parchment preservation.
Silent magnetic hinges (<25dB) mimic palm leaves rustling, while Istanbul dome-inspired structure² bears 300kg.
