Introducing Juthoor جذور
A piece rooted in reinvention.

Crafted from discarded tree trunks and forgotten metal pieces, Juthoor brings new life to materials once left behind. Strong, raw, and full of character, it can live beautifully as an entryway console or transform into a bar piece within a space.

Sard | سرد

Not just a sofa, a rhythm in form.

Lines inspired by African geometry move across its surface like choreography, bold, grounded, intentional. Every angle holds presence. Every pattern carries meaning.

Crafted from reclaimed wood, shaped by what we find in the moment, Sard will never exist the same way twice. The wood is always the base. The fabrics, the iron, the details they evolve. Each piece becomes its own chapter.

This is storytelling you can sit on.
This is design that moves.

The Mamlouki Chair, where history sits differently.

Reclaimed wood anchors it.
Iron once part of Mamlouki windows curves through it.
Fabric and leather, once forgotten, return with new presence.

Every chair is a one-time composition.
We build with what we find, what carries character, texture, imperfection. The wood is always the base, but the ironwork and textiles shift with each discovery. No repetition. No replicas. Just material honesty, reshaped.

This is upcycling as storytelling.
Past lives, reassembled into a future heirloom.

Designed In collaboration with Paletta

Introducing Qomat | قمط 🌱
A coffee table shaped by memory, material, and reinvention.

Qomat was once a door, now it holds conversations instead of hinges.

During the collaboration between Paletta × HIDS, we began looking differently, not for new materials, but for forgotten ones. And this door, once replaced and set aside, found its second life at the heart of a living space.

The iron legs wrap around the top like an embrace, Qomat once used in construction, now softened into design.
The small drawer? A fragment from a past project, reimagined as the table’s drawer.

Nothing here is accidental.
Every element has lived before.
Every line carries a previous story.

From passageway to gathering place.
From door to dialogue.

Qomat. Reclaimed. Reframed. Reborn. ♻️✨

Athar carries subtle African-inspired patterns that echo rhythm and identity. The markings are quiet but intentional, etched like traces left behind… like أثر itself.

The top lifts into a tray, inviting flexibility into your everyday moments. Morning coffee by the window. An evening gathering. A slow pause with a book. When you’re done, it settles back into its frame with intention.

Built from reclaimed wood, Athar carries texture, depth, and subtle imperfections that make it one of a kind. Nothing excessive. Nothing accidental.

Just a small piece with presence, holding space, holding stories.

Introducing the Mamlouki Chair.

A piece shaped by memory and revival.

Crafted from 100% upcycled materials, reclaimed wood as its grounding base, iron once part of Mamlouki windows (old truly is gold), and fabric and leather rescued from past projects and given a second life.

No two chairs will ever be the same.
Because we create with what we find in the moment, materials with history, fragments with soul, each piece unfolds differently. The wood remains the constant foundation, while the iron details and textiles shift from chair to chair, making every edition impossible to replicate.

It’s not mass-produced.
It’s discovered, composed, and reborn.
