The Heritage

Tatreez

A timeless craft that carries stories

Tatreez is more than embroidery: it is a language of memory, identity and belonging. Each motif tells a story of land, people and resilience, passed down through generations.

Canaanite star tatreez motif

CANAANITE STAR | النجمة الكنعانية

A symbol of continuity, cultural memory, and shared lineage. Its geometric order informed the central visual identity of the chair.
