Wood Renaissance Egypt
Designing for Climate, Culture, and Competitiveness through Timber
Welcome to the Wood in Design Forum – Cairo Edition 2025
The flagship platform for everything shaping the future of interiors, furniture, manufacturing, and architectural woodwork. This is not just a forum—it’s a creative power hub where vision meets machinery, where craft becomes commerce, and where local innovation connects with global standards
Bringing together industry leaders, architects, engineers, designers, policymakers, furniture makers, and digital artisans. The event explores how wood—both timeless and technologically advanced—is reshaping the built environment and creative industries.
Participants will engage in cross-disciplinary dialogue around topics ranging from Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) and Glulam to Digital Fabrication, Biophilic Design, and Bespoke Furniture Creation.
Vision
