Anut Cairo takes its name from Nut, the ancient Egyptian goddess of the sky who arches protectively over the earth, and builds an entire collection of table linens and pottery around Egypt’s living craft traditions rather than its postcard imagery. Founded by Goya Gallagher, the house works with artisans across the country – potters in the Fayoum oasis village of Tunis, weavers in Akhmim and Sohag, embroiderers trained at its own Cairo school – turning Egyptian cotton, linen and glazed earthenware into pieces that carry a specific place and a specific pair of hands. An embroidery school for women and an artist residency programme sit at the centre of the house’s mission, so that every napkin or plate also represents a livelihood.

Made from linen with hand embroidery, the Bee Set of Napkins carries a multicolour bee motif, a symbol of royalty among Ancient Egyptians, in a nod to the textile-making tradition that has flourished for millennia in the fertile villages along the Nile such as Sohag and Assyut. Six napkins make up the set, each one worked by hand.
