Moman Kutabi Hamadalla has spent his life immersed in interior design, and as the founder of
El Palacio Damasceno, few people are better placed to speak about what makes Syrian craftsmanship truly exceptional. These are the pieces he considers his finest — each one chosen not just for its beauty, but for the way it transforms a space entirely.
For artists and creatives, his first recommendation is the MARSAM Easel
Crafted in walnut wood and adorned with Syrian mother of pearl, it carries the kind of quiet authority that makes it as much a statement piece as a functional one — at home in any studio worth its name.
From there, Moman turns to the residential world — and his choice speaks for itself
The
GIANNA bed has over 2,500 individual Shall pieces woven into its walnut wood structure, each one meticulously placed by hand. The result is a bed that feels less like furniture and more like something that belongs in a museum — yet one you can actually sleep in.
In professional settings, Syrian design has just as powerful a role to play
The
RUHAM table was Moman's pick for business meeting centres — its lustrous mother of pearl surface commanding attention the moment anyone steps into the room. For office environments, he chose the
FIKRA desk: over 3,000 Shall pieces and genuine Syrian mother of pearl, all contained within a surprisingly durable structure that never sacrifices form for function.
The hospitality world is equally well served
Hotels seeking to offer guests something genuinely memorable need look no further than the
LAMA throne chair, its walnut wood inlay and oriental craftsmanship creating an experience that feels unmistakably regal. Restaurants, meanwhile, will find a worthy centrepiece in the
HUDA coffee table — its distinctive octagonal form both practical and quietly striking, with an antique quality that only deepens over time.
And for those whose spaces happen to float
Moman's final recommendation is the
INSAN table, a rectangular piece drawing on Arab architectural tradition, with mother of pearl engraving that feels entirely at ease in the refined surroundings of a luxury yacht.
