At a time when import restrictions are at a highest, more people are leaning towards locally produced decor pieces to accentuate their homes.

To try out some of Egypt’s top local brands, the Scoop Team made a collection of the best in handmade home decor.
Simplicity and elegance at its finest, MUD studios is home to artisanal clay and marble products. Formed by a group of creative designers in 2013, the online store offers products ranging from uniquely shaped pastel colored pencil pots to glossy thick marbled plates. Marbled coasters, toothbrush holders and ashtrays speckled with gold are also part of their repertoire.
The design team would first research and undergo long brainstorming sessions to come up with the designs. Then each of their products would get handmade in large warehouses. Their clay pots are sculpted by professional artists while their marble plates are cut and shaped using stone cutters.
You can check out their products through their Instagram page and website.
