Sayyed Mekawy is a popular Egyptian singer and composer. His father died early on in his life and the tragedy broke him. He cried uncontrollably for days and he eventually lost his eyesight. Mekawy contributed a lot to Arabic music and the design of the room highlights just that. His music was known for its simplicity, but it always featured complicated, exciting musical components, which has made him one of the most prominent Arabic musicians in history. The room design reflects the marriage of simplicity and complexity through the wooden floor that was elevated to then become a desk. The Arabic letters engraved on the floor reference his song “The Earth Speaks Arabic”.
