Damas interior ... the hiden pearl

Damas use to smell orange and lemon blossom , each courtyard has it own citrus trees ,
Today the hard pollution covered the city with a nasty black cloud , but in the old city you can still fine some tiny paradise who heardly survived .

wooden furnitur are made of complicated complexe design inlead with mother of pearl ,camel bones ,silver, and so one , nothing is simple nothing is plain , it is for them the ultimate richness ... the menwork the crafsmanship is the value

walls are covered with 3 types of stones from lime stone to basalt , it's a Fatemit style of construction . the decorations are carved in the stone and fillup with colored ciment , they still doing tha work perfectly .
most of the time the first floor walls are made of mud breaks into a wooden skeleten ,,, it's stay for ever dancing walls around the city nothing is streat ! and nothing fowl it is miracle

That type of marble worke is a bit mor luxurious than normal , but the comun floors are very sophisticate any way

lots of turkish Otoman heritage

NO BLOG IN SYRIA ...

Dear every one
The censorship is so tight in here , I 'm just able to read my emails.
Any way I'm here and it's an absolute beautiful place to be .

Syria for a while

Dear friends . I don’t know how I could make a post , Syria is a bit precocious about Internet …. And many other things so I have no access what so ever to any blog site . practically you are just able to check your mail and voila just zip it and enjoy the country .
By chance I have access to the dashboard . I will post any way until I can .

Syria is all about "intricate" , complexity , in decoration , craftsmanship is unreal ! urbanism is a jungle , every cm count . the palaces in the old Damascus are breath taking one you push a little door enter tiny corridor ,bend yourself in an other little door you suddenly find yourself in a shrine of art dedicated architecture massive arches high ceilings fantastic air ventilation fresh spring water in a fountain ,
Well I will post about it later ,,,,

ps: I think the picture could not be upload . . . I have no idea since it is very restricted access to the Web .

Baghdad snap shot ...

On the way to Baghdad , it is allways a mystery , no Desk , no time, no pc , no announcement . well you never know when you will arrive to Baghdad and by wish way , I think we have land on all the bases in nowhere of the iraqi desert ! and I could grab an apple in the plane baging for it ... Skylink is the most grrr..... airline company on the planet! the Pilot was drunk going around the aircraft with his whisky in the hand . and when we are on time to take of , it the plain that have technical problem !!! trust me !! go by royal Jordan next time !! enjoying an evening in Aman and no more of those south african over priced air crap .

I dig the dam world with my finger nails to find that green and bleu fabric !!

 

 

I did that project some time ago when I was Zdesign but I was producing my furniture in Domain .

 It’s a 3700 m2 villa , I actually did not chose that color it was a strong , very strong request from the princess , I dig the dam world with my finger nails to find that green and bleu fabric !! that is why now I’m doing my own fabric according to my princesses’ desire . . It turns a bit heavy but some how I like it . 

Cabriolle-Cabriollet

there is a life outside Domain... juste at the gate

This is my daily life , here is the palm outside the factory on the street , those tow Egyptian guys are experts in cutting palms without damaging it , it’s a hell of a work so dangerous ,

And this is my dear sweet Durrah with Abou harith my best kuwaity friend they were going for a walk wile I was going to work after riding in the desert . .  . the factory is right next to the stable in the desert …. It nt ‘it such good luck ?
