| DESIGN NAME: Meridienne Papyrus PRIMARY FUNCTION: Chaise Longue INSPIRATION: Chosen name Papyrus is a tribute to Selene 2, Cleopatra and Mark Anthony daughter, born in Egypt, married Juba 2 and had a great influence in Mauretanian government decisions as Queen (25 Before Christ to 5 Before Christ) I aimed to capture the essence of ancient antic legacy in North African architectural layout while infusing pragmatic eco design concept. (Mauretania was geographicaly located in actual North Africa) UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Meridienne Papyrus is a daybed esthetically inspired by the Antic Roman lifestyle, created for a luminous patio of a contemporary ryad. Its main distinguishing feature lies in the construction method of the blue framework based on pragmatic eco-design concept : modules interlock without screws. The specific mattress accompany the calligraphic form of the structure. Upholstered in Hebba textile from Ouezzan, hand-woven pilled wool adorned with old gold trimming inspired by Roman togas.

Chosen finishing method with natural products ensures no harmful fumes. The manufacturing process : digital cutting enhances precision and efficiency in production. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Papyrus structure is made from 19 mm thickness High Density Fiber panel, composed of : 2 kinds of elements : #1 (L 2100 mm H 600 mm) #2 (L 6350 mm H 3500 mm) Daybed upholstered mattress : 1 bespoke foam L 1730 mm P 635 mm H 250 mm 1 bolster and 1 cushion Packaging box dimensions : L 2250 mm P 650 mm H 350 mm Volume 51.1 mm3 total weight : 35 kg TAGS: meridienne, chaiselongue, antic inspiration, daybed, tealblue, handmade fabrics RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The timeless allure of Papyrus daybed epitomizes the marriage of antic inspiration with contemporary aesthetics. The teal blue of the wood echoes to Egyptian chromatic palette ; the white and gold upholstery is inspired by Antic fabrics. Through modern processes, the design entails digitizing the manufacturing procedures while also retaining the exceptional quality of handmade products for upholstery. That blend confirms the environmentally conscious ethos in Sophia Chraibi Giorgi furniture design. CHALLENGE: My challenge was about genesis of Moroccan Lounge that showcase the influence of Roman empire in North Africa. Ancient architecture discovered in Volubilis featured a patio, atrium, a layout similar to moroccan riad. The courtyard leads to the triclinium, an ornately decorated reception area for guests, who lie down on meridienne and are served on low three footed tables. This influence is still evident in contemporary Moroccan lifestyle where architecture includes traditional lounge, with traditional lounge similar to Roman chaise longue that reflects the legacy of Roman Empire.
