Proudly designed by an Emirati designer, Shaikha Alazeezi, Shams is a modern take on the traditional Mandoos. Inspired by her mother, Shamsa, and her Mandoos chest, This mid-sized sideboard is constructed from rich dark walnut, accented with brass details and supported by walnut legs.
Shams featured two levels, with walnut spheres serving as stylish dividers. The lower level offered ample space to store prayer mats and the Qur’an, while the upper level included two compartments specifically designed for perfumes and Dokhoon.
Ideal for the living room or Majlis, Shams aimed to streamline daily rituals by elegantly combining Dokhoons, perfumes, prayer mats, and the Qur’an into one cohesive piece. This design pays homage to the Mandoos and its cultural significance in Emirati heritage, embodying a harmonious blend of tradition and modernity.
