In this creative experience, participants will design a wood veneer coaster inspired by the Mafrouka motif, a traditional decorative element widely found in the Hijaz region and Historic Jeddah. The Mafrouka reflects the beauty of geometric compositions in traditional architecture, appearing in details such as Roshan windows and Qamariyas.

Through this workshop, this artistic heritage is reimagined in a contemporary style that blends authenticity with innovation, transforming cultural beauty and craftsmanship into a functional piece that reflects the spirit and history of the place
