A space where craftsmanship, innovation and design come together to inspire new possibilities.
The showroom at U Venues is a close collaboration between fused glass artist Walid Onsy Walid Onsy and interior designer Shewekar SHEWEKAR
Rooted in a shared spirit of experimentation, the project pushes the boundaries of glass through bespoke architectural elements, crafted to celebrate the material’s depth, texture and expressive potential.

Glass is often treated as a finishing material—a window, a tabletop or a decorative panel. For Egyptian artist Walid Onsy, however, it has always offered far greater possibilities.

Glass is often treated as a finishing material—a window, a tabletop or a decorative panel. For Egyptian artist Walid Onsy, however, it has always offered far greater possibilities.

“What began as a door evolved into a statement piece, demonstrating how tradition, when paired with innovation, can redefine the boundaries of craftsmanship and reveal new creative possibilities.” __Shewekar

The space comes to life through textured walls, clean geometry and a restrained material palette—a design vision by Shewekar, brought to life in collaboration with Walid Onsy.

Even commercial spaces deserve a soul.

An exploration of how glass, a material born from sand, can be transformed into something extraordinary through patience, craftsmanship and innovation.

The showroom is a celebration of that transformation—a space where art, design and materiality converge, inspiring new possibilities for artists, designers and makers alike.

Photographing this space became an extension of the same spirit of exploration that shaped its design. Every angle revealed a new dialogue between light, glass, texture and material, where complementary colours and contrasting surfaces continually transformed the experience. Discovering these relationships through the lens was, in itself, part of the journey.

A relatively small showroom, filled with wonder and possibility. Every corner reveals a new interplay of light, texture and craftsmanship, proving that great design is defined not by scale, but by the richness of the experience.
